how do I install vuforia in unity(5.4)? - unity3d

How do it create AR maker(vuforia/unity(5.4))?
I installed vuforia in unity.
when I check the AR maker about vuforia, in some of Articles about Vuforia, there is "data set load behavior" on inspector.
However, I can't find the "data set load behavior" on inspector.
what should I do to list the "data set load behavior" on inspector?
I have already added App License key at Vuforia Behavior.
But I can't find "data set load behavior" in Vuforia>Prefabs>ARCamera(inspector).
please tell me how to create "data set load behavior" at inspector on ARcamera.

1.First create target images in Vuforia website's Target Manager create a database(this depends on what kind of target you are looking for). If it's a normal image, then select device (for first practice) and then select and upload it to the website.
2.After it's uploaded, Download the database to your PC which will be downloaded as an "Unity Custom PAckage".
3.Open Unity project. Assets - Import Package - Custom Package. Select the package that you just downloaded from the vuforia website.
4.Select ARCamera , in the inspector menu ,Check the load object target on detection- Activate the database(Name that u provided in vuforia website).
That's it.

Vuforia Engine AR not visible in package manager in Unity 2020

I'm new to unity and vuforia to complete a project i need vuforia engine AR in package manager, the steps shown in the video for unity are Window->Package Manager -> All Packages ->Vuforia Engine AR.
I couldn't access the AllPackages menu so someone suggested that i preview all the packages,i used player setting and selected preview packages, for all the other packages, this doesn't work either.
So i downloaded the vuforia sdk form the site, and i imported all of them into the project,it still didn't show me anything in the GameObject window, i tried to search for the required components like ARCamera and GroundPlaneFinder in the file i imported and they weren't in there.
Can anyone help me with this?
Nevermind, i figured it out, apparently in versions above 2020 in unity it is labelled as vuforia engine to access it go to window->package manager-> my assets->vuforia engine-> import(these were my settings don't know if it changes from version to version)
Be careful and don't try to import it in middle of a project though apparently it needs to be initialized/imported at the start of the project to avoid dependencies. you can create your project later.

Searching assets from asset store in project view in Unity3d

I am trying to search assets by using project view in Unity, however, search assets from asset store option is not an option in my version. What is wrong?
I can only search the files in the project, not asset store. How can I search the asset store as well?
You can find the assets store y going to Window < Panels < 1.Asset Store. Also make sure that you are on unity version 2020.3 or above to access the asset store in the Editor tab.
You can search for Asset Store packages in either Asset Store window (Unity 2019 or older) or on the web. In Unity 2020 and newer you can't search for asset from within Unity Editor.
Once you add packages to your collection (purchase them or for free assets bookmark them), they will show up in the Package Manager window (window -> package manager). Make sure you change the filter to "My Assets" in Package Manager.
You can use the search box in Package Manager window to search in your assets only.

How do I add Vuforia SDK with Unity after the installation of Unity?

I have already installed Unity on my PC.now I want to use Vuforia with Unity.But in new Vuforia site they don't provide us to download their SDK for already installed Unity.How can I download it.
Actually if you install unity 2017.2 or newer no need to add vuforia sdk. Just go to file-> build settings-> player settings ->click on vuforia augmented reality
And also in new versions of Unity (e. g. 2019.2.10f1) it is File > Build Settings > Player Settings > XR Settings > Vuforia Augmented Reality Supported checkmark
This will automatically import vuforia related assets into unity.
Install the latest version of Unity, and in the Unity component
selection section of the installer, select Vuforia Augmented Reality
Support, along with either the iOS Build Support or Android
Build Support packages.
Create a Vuforia developer account from the Vuforia registration page. This account gives you access to the tools you need to make
AR and MR applications with Vuforia in Unity.
If you have not already created a Unity ID, then do so from the Unity registration page. You need a Unity ID to download any
packages from the Unity Asset Store.
Open Unity and create a new 3D Project (make sure the 3D option is selected next to the Add Asset Package button). Name your Project,
then click the Create project button.
To activate Vuforia in your Unity project, access the Player settings
from Edit > Project Settings, then select the Player category,
and select the tab for the mobile device you are building to. Under
the XR Settings panel, enable the Vuforia Augmented Reality
Support property.
From Unity Docs
Since 2019.3 Vuforia is not native in Unity 3D anymore:
On Friday January 24th Unity posted an “XR Platform Updates” article.
Unfortunately, the original version of this article included unclear
information about Vuforia Engine. Vuforia Engine is still supported,
and will continue to be supported, in Unity. What has changed is that
the Vuforia Engine package will no longer be natively distributed by
Unity but can be easily obtained from the Unity Asset Store via our
Core Samples or our hosted NPM registry. You can learn more about how
to download the Vuforia Engine package here.
We apologize for any confusion. If you have any questions, please feel
free to post them on our community forums.
Thank you,
The Vuforia Team
We have to download an external SDK again: https://library.vuforia.com/content/vuforia-library/en/articles/Solution/vuforia-engine-package-hosting-for-unity.html

Vuforia apps & licensing

Before to write to Vuforia sales team I would like to know if there is someone who already purchased license with Vuforia.
In my mid-term projects I'll develop a few Unity/Vuforia apps to publish on Android/Apple stores. These apps will be freely downloadable but my customers (and customers of my customers) only can access to AR contents via cloud db.
These apps, in according with Vuforia agreement, are considered Internal Use or not? The right licence is Cloud or Custom?
Many thanks.
You have 3 options if you want it for commercial purpose:
Starter - Access to the full Vuforia platform so you can build, demo
and deploy your app at no charge with a watermark.
Classic - Unlimited device-based recognition for a single, flat fee
per app.
Cloud - Cloud Recognition Service is for apps that use many targets
or targets that need to be updated frequently.
and if cloud is your first priority then it is bit costly.
