If you are upgrading from ZBrush 4 or below, please follow the full instructions here. You will automatically have ZBrush 2018.1 from the outset.
If you have already upgraded to ZBrush 2018, with ZBrush closed please browse to your ZBrush 2018 folder and run the ZUpgrader application found there. (Do not run “Update,” “Updater” or anything else. You must run ZUpgrader.) This will update your ZBrush 2018 installation to 2018.1. You will not need to reactivate ZBrush after updating.
- If you encounter issues with the ZUpgrader — or if you simply wish to have a completely fresh ZBrush 2018.1 installation — please uninstall ZBrush 2018 and then download the most current ZBrush 2018 installer from your My Licenses page. This page will always give you the most current installer, which at this point is the ZBrush 2018.1 installer.
If you have floating licenses, you cannot use the updater. Your company’s IT manager will need to submit a Support ticket to request the update. See here.
Happy ZBrushing!
