Quote - Oh and it gets even better. If you own C8.1 you wont be able to upgrade to C9, you will have to buy it full price. There wont be an upgrade path from C8 to C9. So skipping C8.5 is not an option if you intend to get C9.

So it is quite apparent that there is no update/upgrade for Carrara. You are going to have to buy it again. Then there is no gaurenty DAZ wont do the same thing for C9. In fact the way sales are going you can count on it.

Depressing, but probably true.
