I pulled up the historical Terms & Conditions on Pixologic's Store from 2019: "Pixologic reserves the right to modify its pricing, policies, products, product specifications and services without notice at any time. Pixologic is not liable for errors that may be found on this site, including graphical or typographical.…
You're probably right. I get that that there is not much that can be done about the changes in terms. My issue is with leaving the "16 years" language up when, given the subsequent events that unfolded, Pixologic clearly knew that the ZBrush 2022 product had been sold and that the spirit of those words no longer held. The…
"after reading the "no update costs in 16 years" assertion" Careful there - as far as I remember Pixologic never boasted about that. This is mostly the users mentioning it.
"My issue is with leaving the "16 years" language up" Again, what is your source for that ? I personally don't recall Pixologic ever bringing it up as a selling point.
@gnoop if you go to https://pixologic.com/my-licenses/login.php and log in with your credentials, you should be able to obtain the latest perpetual build. Another option is to navigate to C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush 2022 and run the updater
Wait what? So unless I buy at least one permanent license upgrade from Maxon to get into their ecosystem I won't be able to activate ZBrush any more in the future? Or does this mean I can still use the lastest Pixologic version I own and "only" not activate any earlier versions?
Apparently it's still possible to activate/deactivate and install Zbrush to another machine as usual. I bought my ZB license back in 2019, so I'm entitled to use it via Pixologic's account. I got my new work-laptop, so thank god:…
I am glad that I stumbled onto this discussion. . . I am still in shock over the poor treatment of Pixologic ZBrush 2022 perpetual license customers. I suspect that I am one of the last ZBrush personal perpetual license purchasers. I purchased my license for USD$895 on 2021.12.28 after reading the "no update costs in 16…
Understood, unfortunately it seems like many will go in that direction, the same thing happened with 3Ds Max's subscription model when they forced upgrades and refused to activate licenses for older versions. While the subscription model does make business sense, I wish that pixologic would have stayed out of it or sold to…
Saving_Face: I am still in shock over the poor treatment of Pixologic ZBrush 2022 perpetual license customers. I've had zB since 2004. I think I paid something like 400 guilders for it and never regretted the purchase. The app is rock steady and the support is super, although only needed rarely. It's just a very fun app to…
