Zbrush has lifetime upgrades so I doubt getting an older version of software will be legitimate. The only way it would be legitimate if the seller is doing a license transfer with you, that would allow you to upgrade.

I did look into that today and I wasn't able to find any older versions anyway.  This Friday I will find out what the upcoming budget looks like, in the mean time I am viewing Blacksmith tutorials and trying out the demo.

I really do love Hexagon, it is very intuitive for me BUT the lack of developer support for it leaves me doubt for the future.  I'm an OCD kind of person and once I get familiar with doing things one way it is hard for me to switch so I am attempting to get a clear workflow established now.  Already I have spent years in this not really having one and I believe I have wasted a great amount of time due to that.

I actually really like Cararra too.  But I just don't trust Daz anymore at all to support their own products.
