Same here (Berlin, Germany). Worked without any problems: Fritz 18 GUI updated to version 6, when I started it. Then Fritz 18 nnue was installed.
Free major engine-update and engine not copy-protected. You can copy the engine to any new folder or new machine.
Very nice ChessBase!

The nnue-net must be very small, because the engine-file is only 2.1 MByte...and the old Fritz 18 engine is 1.1 MByte in size.

Although a little off topic but nonetheless when I bought Fritz 18 i got several Fritz engines also named Fritz18 Ginko among others(and some old Fritz 13 and another Morsch version) but when reinstalling from the same binaries now I only have 1 Fritz18popcount engine

Did someone else experience that also ?

Maybe you copied your stockfish commits from someone else too?
I will look into that.

Thank you, I got the update yesterday. Funny thing is I did not see it in the change log, so I was not aware of it.

Has anyone else noticed after upgrading to version 6 (Fritz 18 Neuronal) under file > activate (both activate and update program are both greyed out? The only one that works is "deactivate".

That's the issue I'm experiencing.

I looked and mine is the same way too. I hope that does not hamper future updates?

A generous move from chessbase!

What I'd like most of all for the next one GUI (Fritz or cb- database):
A feature to make existing nets (even for Fritz- NNUE only) learn from game- (or .epd)- collections. Guess that might be a rather small script or even a batch- file only to be written and implemented, wasn't it?
That would sell very well for sure, especially if it would work with SF- NNUE too
:)
Peter.

Where is the new engine? In what folder?
