DAZ is encouraging people to buy C5 and then upgrade to C6, when it appears (the 14th? - that's when the C5 offer ends). I can get C5Pro for $192. A bargain, except that I have it already. I upgraded from C4 Standard to C5Pro before DAZ hoovered up Eovia. Now there is no indication (that I have seen - delighted to be corrected on this) of how much it may cost to upgrade from C5Pro to C6Pro. I don't think I have any need for a second licence for Carrara, but it does seem that it may be cheaper to buy Carrara 5 Pro all over again and then upgrade for free, rather than waiting to see how DAZ intends to treat the established customer-base.

But that is exactly what you have to do... nobody knows what the deal for "owners" is going to be.
But usualy DAZ does make it a good one for the peeps that have the "old" version.
So just wait and see or take a gamble ... but i think the release is going to be a month later then the offer that we have now... so no 30 days money back can be used...

Couldn't you also join the Platnimum club for just a month and then get an additional 30% off, plus you get a bunch of cool free stuff. I up graded from C4pro and paid only $113 for C5 pro. All they wanted is a legitimate serial #. You would just be prepaying for C6. They said it would cost over $500 for C6 pro. Yiks!

I am fairly sure I read that DAZ has said that if you already own C5Pro, then there is no advantage to buying C5Pro while on sale if you wanted to upgrade to C6Pro.

I haven't seen/found what the offer will be for existing C5 users to upgrade, but I will be watching that closely, as some day there will be an upgrade from C6 to C7/C8 etc. and that will be a "selling point" for me to upgrade it then.
The consensus for C5 existing users upgrading to C6, is that it will be a nice upgrade price. I can't see it being much more than the introductory sale price has now, or their DL servers would overload with current users trying for the sales, lol. Im just guessing though.

According to the Daz forums, existing owners of Carrara will get a better price upgrading without buying another Carrara 5 license--so I'm waiting.

Hi all,
If you visit DAZ, and do a search for Carrara 6 on the 3D Software page, you'll get to see the relative pricings... new, or upgrade etc.
Carrara 5 Pro to Carrara 6 Pro upgrade is listed at $141.06 with further discount of 17% for Platinum Club.
