This new policy is not a surprise, but it won’t reassure fearful users. Studiosshould also be aware that at this moment, Floating Licences and Volume Licences are only available as perpetual licences, and not as subscription licences. ZBrush subscription customerswill, of course, automatically receive upgrades to the newest version, at no additional cost and as long as the subscription is active. In other words: if you are a perpetual customer, in the future, you will have to pay to upgrade, unless the upgrade only fixes critical bugs. “No free upgrades will be included for customers who purchased a perpetual license after December 29, 2021”, except for “critical bug fix updates”.“ZBrush perpetual customers who purchased prior to December 29, 2021, are entitled to free updates for one year following their purchase”.The official upgrade policy and licences types pages have changed. It seems that those fears where justified. Last month, Maxon (the makers of Cinema4D) announced the acquisition of Pixologic, de company behind the widely used 3D sculpting software ZBrush.Īt the time, some ZBrush users expressed their fears that Maxon might change the upgrade policy: until now, ZBrush upgrades where free, an unusual choice within the CG software industry.
