Would oyu mind telling us what the solution they gaved you for vista was? Because I still cant get the darn program to work =/. Not even the demo for christ sake =/
With Vista, if you get the “Unknown Return Code” error when you first launch the app:
Browse to the folder where ZBrush is installed and locate the ZBrush3.exe. (This will not work with a shortcut – you must go to the ZBrush folder itself.) Right-click on ZBrush3 and you’ll see a context menu Click “Run as Administrator”. ZBrush should then launch fine from that point forward.
Even if your account is an admin account, this is still necessary. It’s due to Vista’s heightened security systems.
Hello!
if the problem still occours in xp (that was my case), try follwoing: set the permissions on the file “SScProt.dll” to rwx for everyone (or for the user who tries to run it). the file is located somewehre in the system32 folder (you have to look for it with the search funktion). then restart the pc. then you don’t need an admin-account.

Running:Windows XP
Intel Pentium 4 3.20GHz
2GB Ram
256MB Diamond Radeon X1550
Clean install.
Problem: Tried to set permissions on the “SScProt.dll” file, but there is no option to do so in Properties.
Problem: Opening up Zbrush for the first time, and getting the message
LICENSING ERROR: Unknown return_code (FALSE_AF_VK_ACCESS_DENIED). Please contact Pixologic. Shutting down.
Kinda a newbie at all this, so forgive the mistakes.
gasp! I just found out my computer had RAID’s utilities.
Also, my computer is Windows 7(jee, it helps).
Zbrush didn’t work the first time,
then when my Internet explorer was erased by a virus it worked again!
But now that I have internet…it has the licensing problem again…
I’ve run the program as admin, cut off internet, etc…but it is not quite the same for W7.
Any other ideas?(besides letting a virus eat my computer?)
