Thanks mate, I found out what I needed, but basicly, what I need to know was if this new version was subscription only, and also how it compares with the previous version. I was scared it would screw up things. but alas was just my own missplaced fears. Thanks for answering tough.
@vincelk 4.23 is working fine for the freebirds so no worries there. But if you want the overrated, overpriced extra features that should've been made free years ago then you're going to have to subscribe to Daz premium. As long as you have backups to your content you're golden.
