System.Net without Unity Pro

[luoruize]

I've been working on a multiplayer game, and today I tried, for the first time, to compile the game and run it on my Android device. Unfortunately, Unity tells me I need the Unity Pro license in order to use System.Net, which is required for SmartFox.

I have seen this in the asset store:

Is there any way to use this with SmartFox? There's no way I'm spending thousands of $ this early in development on the Unity Pro.

I've never heard of this plugin but if it somehow replaces System.Net in a proper way I think it may work.
I would suggest to give it a try and if you do, please let us know if it works fine.

Thanks

Thanks.
It might be me, but I haven't seen anywhere in SmartFox's documentation that in order to use it with Unity on mobile, the Unity Pro license is required. It was my mistake not to test this right away (because it took me a short while to set up a server running SmartFox), but I definitely would've started working with a different game engine had I known this.
Would be cool if you guys could update the documentation to mention this somewhere, if it's not there.

I see what you are saying.
We would normally expect people choosing a dev environment to be aware of its main features and limitations.

If we had to list all of them for each supported platform it would get very confusing.
