I’d really love to know the answer to this too. Some official word would be great. 
If we can’t switch back again, then ultimately I don’t think I’d bother.
Wow, there must be a “global consciousness” . I was just about to post this question myself. I’m getting a MacBook and would like to move my iBook Zbrush install over to the Macbook and try it on Windows XP Pro. But my primary install is still on my Mac workstation and not about to change anytime soon.
So my question, too, would be whether or not we can switch back to the Mac version when it finally ships or are we stuck with the Windows version? 
I’d also like to know this before I buy ZBrush 2. I ultimately would like ZB3 for the mac, but since this may take some time, can I buy ZB windows now and then switch to the mac version when it comes out. I think this wouldn’t be too much to ask since us mac users have to wait for a mac release.
If someone from Pixologic could let me know before May 10th so I can decide.
Thanks
This questions was already answered waaay back at the beginning of this thread: yes.
If I remember rightly what was said at the beginning of the thread was…
If you already own a Mac license you switch to a Windows license for free so you can start using ZB3 straight away. As far as I know, nothing has been said about switching back again once the Mac verson is released. I’m sure you will be able to but whether it wil be free or not no-one knows.
I took my mom bungie jumping for her 50th birthday, and she loved it. She still pulls out the video of it to shock her friends. We wanted to go parachuting for her 60th, but chemotherapy and age had made her bones too brittle (she’s a 22-year cancer survivor at this point).
You never know – if she interested in sculpting, she might love Zbrush.

ouf - oh yes, she might love it
Hey, are we going to be notified (via EMail) of the free upgrade to ZB3 ? … and hopefully the transition will be easier, I remember going through merry hell getting ZB2 - their security procedures were so tight.
sure, maybe a regular invitation card
I agree about the procedures, ten times as hard as learning to use ZBrush! element5 kept sending me download links to demo version three weeks in a row since I paid for the software, and the online registration never worked for the sole sharp version I got.
It’s working now, but I hardly dare to upgrade after that experience.
My birthday is on May 17th, and I’m more excited about the ZB3 release than celebrating my birthday. How sad is that? 
I’ve already told friends and family not to expect my full attention during phone calls for at least a week or two following the 15th. I’ll be saying, “Yeah, yeah, Happy Birthday, thanks a lot, gotta go, bye.”
That sounds like one hell of a birthday. Me, I can’t wait either man, and I’m hoping no disasters delay it’s release. I’ve built a brand new machine and bought a nice tablet to boot, all for ZB3.
In the midst of doing the same thing. going from 32 bit dual core, 2GB to 64bit quad core, 4GB and a new 24" widescreen to boot.
Should have things running good and tested in time for ZB3 to ship.
Hey all,
Where exactly do you have to be registered to qualify for the free upgrade. Surely not just on ZBrushCentral… will it have anything to do with the activation codes that were in the ZBrush 2 Box?
Just wondering, lol
When you activate zbrush 2 its regestered via element5.
Hey Sloch my birthday it’s the day after yours. I’ll be celabrating both zbrush 3 and my birthday. :))))
Can’t wait till my school upgrades to zbrush 3. With all this new tools, I can’t wait what people are going to be producing with this great program.
6 more days guys!!!
Javi.
Javier…you’re in Tampa? We’re neighbors! I’m in St. Pete. Happy Birthday (early) in case I forget. How old are you going to be?
I wonder if you can open up the z tools back and forth from ver. 2 and 3
Only if you ordered it through Element5, though.
If you bought a CD version from a third party and then upgraded to v.2 then the process takes 2-5 days. Less time if you live on the West Coast and avoid doing it over a weekend.
Hey Slosh!
Happy Birthday for you too! (Early)
I’ll be 23!
Right know im going for my Bachelors in Computer Animation here in Tampa at the International Academy of desing and technology. I hope they get Zbrush 3 for the next semester.
Have a good one guys
Javier Loredo.
