Hi
We are migrating an existing game to playfab and we have an already paid Photon Server Account for 2 years, is it possible to transfer that license to playfab so we don't have to pay for that again?
thanks.
You can indeed use your own Photon account in connection with PlayFab. There are no technical barriers to this, and if you want to continue to use our authentication and webhook integration, you can do so quite simply - in fact, we'll be supporting that in the Game Manager directly soon. For now, if you email your Title ID, Photon App ID(s), and specify whether it's Photon Realtime, Photon Chat, or both (and which App ID is which) to devrel@playfab.com, we can get that set up on our side. The Exit Games team has a walkthrough they can share on how to then set up your Photon app configuration in their dashboard for this.
FYI - we've now made that the officially supported path for titles going forward, as the feedback we've received is that this is what developers strongly prefer. The Exit Games team will be providing a write-up of the configurations steps in their dashboard shortly, but for now, here's what you need to know:
The Auth URL should be in this format:
https://[PlayFabTitleId].playfabapi.com/photon/authenticate
The URL for webhook calls should be in this format:
https://[PlayFabTitleId].playfablogic.com/webhook/1/prod/[webhooksecret]
