Question: I have accumulated enough to be eligible for the "free" iClone 8 + CC4 upgrade. The promotion page says that I am also eligible for the Elite program. Does that mean that purchase count towards both offers (IC8+CC4 and Elite)? That would be nice but I want to confirm. It would be sad if I click the Apply button for the Elite program and then lost my IC8+CC4 upgrade...:unsure:

similarly (11/7/2021)
I have a question on upgrade price: Will people who have 3dxchange get additional discounts on the upgrade price, seeing as how it is now integrated into the programs? Consider: 2021 Year End Treats | Reallusion| Product | Pre-sale Campaign | Regular Price | Upgrade Price | | CC4 | Spend $399+, Get CC4 for Free | $299 | $249 | | iC8 | Spend $699+, Get iC8 for Free | $599 | $499 | | CC4 + iC8 | Spend $799+, Get CC4+iC8 for Free | $699
(Value: $898) | $599 |
- iClone 8 ($599) : With partial 3DXchange Pipeline integration (Value $499) and Curve Editor (Value $149). Check out iClone 8 vs iClone 7
- Character Creator 4 ($299): With partial 3DXchange Pipeline integration (Value $499). Check out CC4 vs CC3
I have: iClone 7 (Regular Price: $199. Upgrade from iClone 6: $129) Character Creator 3 (Regular Price: $199. Upgrade from CC2: $129) 3dxchange Pipeline 7 (Regular Price: $499. Upgrade from 3xchange Pipeline 6: $299). Curve Editor Plugin for iClone 7 (Regular Price: $149. Member Price: $79). According to the chart above, if I have iClone 7 and CC3, the upgrade price is $599. However: iClone 7 and CC3 (Regular Price: $398. Upgrade from IC6 and CC2: $258) iClone 7, CC3, 3dxchange Pipeline 7, Curve Editor (Regular Price: $1046. Upgrade from previous versions: $636). So basically, if there is NO extra discount for people who previously bought 3dxchange or curve, then people who bought: iClone 7 and CC3 ONLY (paying $258-398) will pay the SAME upgrade price as those customers who bought: iCone 7, CC3, 3dxchange Pipeline 7 and curve editor ($636-$1046), and thereby paid 2x-3x as much! Yet, both parties will get the same products with the same functionalities, and the optional (expensive) plugins would count for nothing. Perhaps as a reward to loyal customers who paid more in the past, thereby supporting Reallusion and the development of these new products, Reallusion might consider additional discounts on the upgrade price. Something to sincerely think about. Thank you for the feedback. I have passed your points to the sales team for review and consideration. Great point, many of us have invested heavily into Reallusion products since inception. A loyalty program would be a great way to show appreciation to those who helped support the company from the start. A tiered upgrade would be a big thank you to the long-term loyal. Perhaps $20 break for each pro version purchased and upgraded which many of us have multiple times. In my mind we should qualify as Elite Customers. Thanks for being our intermediary Peter..

I pressed it and got my elite coupon.
It says on my page that I'm qualified for both.
There doesn't seem to be a problem.

Does anyone know if CC4 will work with iClone7 if I were to just update that for now... or if CC3 works with iClone8 should I do that one first? Or do both only work with the new upgrades? And if they are backward compatible, will it be like it is now? where they work sometimes they need adjustments or tweaks for the newer version.
You would be able to use CC3 to create characters for iClone 8, but characters created in CC4 will not be compatible with iClone 7 because of the new character formats used. Thank you Peter.... This is good to know in case I cannot upgrade both together.

Right? Trying to upgrade my video card... not an easy task these days... nothing in stock and what is available is double retail, if not more with some sellers. But hey... at least Reallusion is giving you an option unlike other companies that charge you a monthly fee to use their software. Adobe, Autodesk and so many others following that format... so not only are you upgrading your system, you are also paying out monthly fees on top of it. With Reallusion... you can choose to upgrade or keep using what you already have. I don't like being a slave to monthly fees. Don't we have enough of these? Rent, utilities, car payments, insurances, bla bla bla.... and now... software. If you use auto pay you really don't realize how many payments you submit every month.... Imagine having to write a check for every payment you make each month. Write an envelope, lick a stamp...... Ah.... the good old days. LOL I like that once purchased I can use it forever or upgrade as needed. Thanks Reallusion for giving us a choice! :D I do not mind paying for an upgrade to be honest..... A lot of work went into those upgrades and bills need to be paid. Of course I would hope that the upgrade would be a fair one vs purchasing new. And yes, it would be nice to be credited with a lower upgrade as some of the extras we paid for are now included. Having to pay for that again in the upgrade price would be a little harsh. It will be what it will be. Once it is released we will know for sure. Fingers corssed.

Agree, that's indeed a positive thing. I wouldn't mind a monthly fee if those services included a fallback license the way companies like Cascadeur or IntelliJ do, where you can subscribe for one version or year and if you stop subscribing the next year at least you keep the last version you paid for, but Adobe, Autodesk, Marvelous Designer... they are just renting their software and as soon as you stop paying you have nothing, no matter if you paid a big amount of money over years of monthly subscription payments. At least Reallusion is not doing this, but let's not give them any ideas xD
