Hi everyone, I’m part of a small studio and am investigating if ZBrush will be any good for our workflow. We all use Vista64 machines and on each one we are unable to use the trial version. We have an old XP machine hanging about and are able to run the 3.1 trial on that, but all the worksration machines present the error “Unable to connect to license Server DLL, please contact Pixologic”
Well we’ve tried contacting Pixologic, as well as scouring this forum and the web for a solution, to no avail.
We’ve tried running as Administrator, changed permissions for the EXE and DLL’s, uninstalled, re-installed… etc etc. Half of our “artists” are all ready to dump the idea of using ZBrush… but I and one or two others are desperate to get a copy on our machines.
There’s currently a queue at the XP machine and 30 days are gonna go by very quickly… can someone please help us before a fight breaks out? I’m going to rejoin the back of the queue and pray someone has the solution,
So far the boss aint happy with Pixologic’s support. Can anyone confirm this is unlike them? They’ll be losing out on fifteen possible licenses if it’s not sorted soon.
PC specs (vary from machine to machine, but my machine’s a )
Vista 64bit Ultimate edition
AMD 4800+ x2 64
4GB Ram
Loadsa HDD Space
Geforce 7800GTX (Some chaps are using Quaddros, but I don’t qualify yet)
Any other specs can be given but seem superfluous.
And it’s the ZBrush 3.1 trial we’re using (or trying to)

ps. A few chaps noticed the EXE is firing up in 32 bit mode. And there is no seperate 64 bit exe file. Does the trial version come with 64 bit support?
