In brief: ZBrush changed its upgrade policy for perpetual licences purchased after 29 December 2021, removing free feature upgrades.

Licences purchased earlier: Customers who bought a perpetual licence before the cut-off retained free upgrades for one year from purchase.

Licences purchased later: Newer perpetual licences continued to receive critical bug fixes, but other upgrades were excluded.

Subscription alternative: New customers seeking continuing feature upgrades could use the ZBrush subscription. Digital Production also covered the contemporary Blender 3.0 release.

Ownership context: Maxon had announced its acquisition of Pixologic and ZBrush in December 2021. The historical licence and upgrade terms were documented by Pixologic support. Current customers should verify today’s policy directly before purchase or renewal.
