DAZ's latest tether you to DAZ plan.

Content Management System. If you have a well organized runtime/s, you don't need it; or at least didn't need it. Now it looks like if you want to use autofit or genesis poses in C8.5 you will need this bit of DRM running. It was not necessary in the betas. It's one of those things that install with Studio; whether you want it or not, that I usually immedietly uninstall.

 

Download Install Manager. DAZ's way of making something that should be easy as complex as possable. Installing content to a runtime or even what ever DAZ may be calling the Studio content folder this week; where ever it may be, should be as easy as unzip, cut, paste, done. Now DIM will download and install your content where you want it; if you have a gaurdian angle on the ball. All it has really accomplished is turning content installtion in to some Rube Goldberg operation.

I expect soon enough you wont be able to download and install any DAZ content with out it. I mean I am quite surprised DAZ is offering content in zips now. One of the best things DAZ has done for content in ages. But how long will that last? And will DAZ ever update any older content to it. Anything I bought before the mil4 figures still comes in those crap DAZ installers.

But I will admit DIM is named quite well, it is.
