Quote - > Quote - Then there was the Pixologic incident. I lost my copy of Zbrush's registry file in a computer crash. Call them up, and was, to make a long story short, told I was either too stupid to follow instructions, or trying to rip them off. At least that was just a few hundred dollars down the toilet, and it was my fault for storing whatever it was on the dead computer.

In Pixlogic's defense, NO OTHER COMPANY, that I know of, has offered free upgrades from a 1.?? version through a 4.?? version to anyone with a valid serial code to that first purchase. Talk about more bang for your bank!

Vray 4 C4D, actually. You buy a license, and it upgrades every time Cinema does, with no additional charge. The difference is, you can re-download your purchase with no argument once your identiy is confirmed. Pixologic, on the other hand, had my purchase record and still insisted it would cost them money. I wasn't even asking for the program, just my registry key. pah bad water under the bridge. (And, yes, I had my serial number.)
