Do I still have access to free bundle after Premier expires?

Do I still have access to free bundle after Premier expires?

Hi. Just a quick question. Apologies if the question has been asked before. I'd quite like to get Vicky 9 (or Death... Or maybe Van Helsing ^^')

Thanks

Yes,  those are standard store items that can be free for premier membes - it's only the Premier-exclusive items (the Vicky Dark Elf shape and Aiko 9 currently) that will vanish.

Sorry. How do I download Vicky 9 Dark Elf Shape. I was reading that Daz Connect was needed, but I can't find a download link for it.

Go to the Smart Content tab inside Daz Studio. Make sure you're online. Press on the magnifying glass and filter for Premier Exclusive. You should see Aiko 9 and the Vicky 9 Dark Elf Shape. You can install there.

also make sure that you Update metadata, checkbox in the login dialogue or in the Connect menu - it is off by default now.

when you say they will vanish, that leaves me with some questions regarding licensing.

I'm assuming vanish means removed from product library so I can no longer reininstall. But if it is currently installed, do I get to continue to use those assets? Or are my usage rights also revoked? And If my usage rights are revoked, what about renders I may be currently be using of those assets in a commercial aspect, say in a VN or game? Would my usage rights be removed, and I would have to remove those renders from the game? Its all rather complicated, and I wish Daz would make this very clear.

No: you can only use Aiko 9 while you are a premium member. Usage is controlled by DS4 with your account subscription. As far as I know all renders you made are still yours but if you try to load a previous DS4 scene with Aiko9 and you are not anymore premium: Aiko9 will not load or you will have a G9 without Aiko 9 morph  .  This doens't apply with bundle you bought or get with premium offer (Vicky 9,...) 

At least that's what I understood :-) !

Don't know what happen if you made an obj export of Aiko 9 while premium : can you still use the obj if you are no more premium in another renderer for example ?

That looks correct.

Can, yes, may, no.

The only items that I can find in my Smart Content pane, are the items that I have already installed on my computer. Plus, I can't find the tools (e.g. Character converter) that are also included with the Premier membership. :/

I will admit that I'm new to the Smart Content pane. However I did manage to update metadata (and something else, but I can't remember what ^^')

Thenplug-ins have, like all plug-ins, to be isntalled through DIM (they need elevated privileges to write to the application folder, which isn't possible for DS itself). Then you log-in to activate them after a restart.

Ah. Okay. Thanks ^^ I typed "Premier" into DIM's search and found them.

The only issue I have now is getting everything (especially the Premier Characters) to appear in my Smart Content Pane.
