Academic and Educational License

Individual students and faculty can receive a discount on the Single User license, as explained above. This copy of ZBrush is full-featured with no watermarks or other limitations. It is also able to receive any free upgrade offers that Pixologic extends, with the license remaining an academic license after the upgrade. The only limitation is in the license itself, which allows ZBrush to be used strictly for non-profit/non-commercial purposes. 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.

Institutions requiring five or more seats may receive an academic license under either the volume or floating licensing system. For a full explanation of these systems, click their links. 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. Bulk pricing is available with most retailers, with discounts increasing at higher quantities. After purchasing such a license, additional seats may also be added to that license at a later date, with no minimum quantity required. As with the individual academic licenses there are no software limitations and these licenses are also eligible for any free upgrades.
