Resolved: Should I install 4.0 Upgrade Ontop of 3.5 ?

Should I install 4.0 Upgrade Ontop of 3.5 ?,(in program files/pixologic 3.5 folder) or should 4.0 upgrade be installed to where it wants to, a seperate folder ? (it wants to be installed inside the program files/pixologic 4.0 folder.

the reason I’m asking of course is because I don’t want to lose my previous tools that I’ve made, and/or projects.

editted to add ; whether I need to install 4.0 to a seperate folder or not, will I need to de-activate my 3.5 license before registering/activating my 4.0 license ?

ZBrush 4 should be installed to its own folder. It will not work right if installed over 3.5. After you have installed it you can copy your tools and non-plugin startup items over. Plugins should be downloaded fresh from the Download Center, since earlier versions of them will not work in 4.

Z4 has a new serial number, so the licensing is unaware of 3.5. You can continue to have both on your computer. Only 4 will be supported anymore, however. If something causes 3.5 to stop working, that will be it for that version.

Hope that helps.
