I use Daz Central only to update Daz Studio itself. There is no sense in Daz Connect at all. And I install all the content from the Daz store as smart content. All three things were safe until today, but who knows what might happen tomorrow. Therefore, I would recommend at least not to log in either to Studio itself or to Daz Install Manager.
Thanks, I never have used Daz Central sense its introduction. I was wondering if it was like I suspected. a way of Daz knowing what you have and shouldn't have.
