After purchasing a volume license, additional seats may also be added to that license at a later date, with no minimum quantity required.

Bulk pricing is available with most resellers, with discounts increasing at higher quantities. As with individual academic licenses, these are for non-commercial use but they may not be upgraded to a commercial license at a later date. All copies of ZBrush share the same serial number, making it easy to manage the license in a classroom environment. Under this system a number of seats are purchased equal to the number of workstations on which ZBrush will be installed.

Institutions requiring five or more seats may receive an academic license under the volume licensing system. An individual academic license may be upgraded through Pixologic Support to a full commercial license at any time, receiving a discount of 50% off the current commercial price at time of upgrade. The only limitation is in the license itself, which allows ZBrush to be used strictly for non-profit/non-commercial purposes. It is also able to receive any free upgrade offers that Pixologic extends, with the license remaining an academic license after the upgrade. This copy of ZBrush is full-featured with no watermarks or other limitations.

Individual students and faculty can receive a discount on the single user license, which may be activated on up to two computers provided that both copies are not actually used at the same time. Pixologic’s partnered resellers (see the Academic heading at ) provide two kinds of educational discounts, depending on your needs: Pixologic allow and even aid users selling their license. You can also look on these forums and at zbrushcentral as there are regular threads with people selling their license at a reduced cost. If you buy any previous versions you are also eligible for a free update to the latest version.
