Hello, my brother and I have the following questions. We have acquired the CC3 and the Iclone7 this year. The issue is that we have read that CC4 and Iclone 8 are going to come out. The question is: Do those who have the cc3 and iclone 7 have to pay extra or do they get it for free? The other question, in case that it has to be paid, can those of us who have CC3 and Iclone 7 be able to keep it or will they discontinue it and it will disappear from the Realilution Hub?

Hi...

Major upgrades from one version number to the next are not free unfortunately.

So while going from iClone 7.1 through to 7.9 were free, upgrading from iClone 7 to iClone 8 or CC3 to CC4 requires purchase of an upgrade.

If you want to get iClone 8 and CC4, then you can either take advantage of the special pre-sale offer which is explained below, or you can upgrade for a discount when iClone 8 and CC4 releases.

Previous version of iClone and CC will remain available, so you don't lose those.

I already have iclone 7  but if I buy new  Iclone 7 right now (Nov 3 2021) will it have free upgrade to Iclone 8?

Only if it states, on the product page, that the upgrade to iC8 is included in the purchase price.

I would expect (or at least hope for) that to happen when we are about a month away from the release date.  I believe Reallusion has done that before.   Not yet though, it's too soon.  Even then there is no guarantee they will do that, especially since some things are being packaged differently, such as "Pipeline" is now part of the base product.

Peter has stated that the "upgrade" discounted prices will be announced when iC8 and CC4 are released next year.
Any pricing you currently are viewing are not "upgrade" prices but promotional prices and special offers (i.e. buy lots of content get something free).
List price for iC8 is $599 and for CC4 is $299 or bundled is $898.
There has been no mention of upgrade pricing for plug-in's as of yet.

Only iClone 7/CC3 bundles over $699 will get iClone 8 for free, and bundles over $399 will get Character Creator 4 free. Bundles over $799 will get both iClone 8 and Character Creator 4 free. Purchasing iClone 7 or Character Creator 3 Pipeline on their own will not get you a free copy unfortunately.
