OMG..for the last time...you DON'T have to be connected to the web to use or install Daz studio or your content. Only if you WANT to. The only thing you need worry about is your ENCRYPTED content, but if you don't want encrypted content, don't buy it. Simple ;). The majority of products at Daz - including the stuff you've already bought - remains unencrypted.

I swear, no one bothers to read anymore ;).

It might be helpful to give the full requirements.

Authorisation is needed for Connect (DRM) content; this is either connecting the computer once, or (I don't know if this works yet) downloading a key to install on the computer if it doesn't have access to the internet.

You're still trying to argue an unrelated point.

To use 4.9, you don't have to use use connect. All your old connect still works and content is still offered in non-encryption formats. Also Connect is NOT DRM.

After all these pages of this thread, that should have been settled by now.

Nope, I said tell the whole story; and you said it yourself, about avoiding DRM content; well you said encrypted which is misleading.

All content from Daz contains some encrypted components; as it is not DRM protected there is no risk of being locked out. DRM poses that risk, and as you quite rightly suggest, not purchasing it is a way to avoid that risk.

And I said what you're saying; avoid Connect(DRM) content. However, my understanding is that the Connect process requires you to log in once, authorise the account in some way? Am I mistaken?

Tell me, how do you download any content without it?
