IMPORTANT PLEASE READ & REPLY: Using marketplace items on other engines

[anonymous_user_b9922a98]

Is there anyway i can use items from UE4 marketplace on a different engine like “unity 5”

No. The license isn’t for that. You would need to buy directly from the seller with custom licensing terms.

You’re wrong!

The marketplace license allows you to use the items you bought in any engine. So you are completely free to use something you bought on the UE4 marketplace in Unity. The only exception are the free demos from Epic that you can find on the marketplace, those are only allowed to be used with UE4.

This is absolutely not true. There is no stipulation in the licensing terms that the end-user must use purchased content in Unreal Engine 4 (with a very small number of exceptions where content is marked as ‘UE4 Only Content’).

If someone buys assets on the UE4 marketplace, they are free to port them to Unity projects if they wish.

I’m not sure if that’s accurate. The Terms & Conditions don’t specify that the content can only be used in UE4.

What can users do with my content once they purchase and download it?
All content sold on the Marketplace is licensed to the buyer (who may be either an individual or company) for the lifetime right to use the content in developing an unlimited number of products and in shipping those products. The buyer is also licensed to make the content available to employees and contractors for the sole purpose of contributing to products controlled by the buyer.

Each such product built using content purchased on the Marketplace must be a standalone creative work (such a game, simulation, or video) in which content is merely a component and not the primary focus. For example, it may not be a content pack for distribution to engine users.

The opposite is specifically mentioned in the marketplace items created by Epic, for example in their infinity blade assets pack:

Licensed for use with the Unreal Engine only.

Maybe someone from Epic Staff can help clarify this.

If the content is created by epic, it cannot be used outside of ue4. Marketplace content however can, so long as you abide by the usage restrictions outlined on the site.
