Do products say in your account even if removed from the store?

I have this tutorial by ironman13 called IM00018235 CreatingIn3Dwith#DCoat. I have been watching it lately and I really like it. As far as I know there were 2 parts. When I get to the end of part 2, he sounds like there's more coming up although he talking about doing something he already explained in some earlier videos. Except that says he's going to do it with the model he just created. It has to do with Retopogy.
So I just wanted to cheack and make sure that I downloaded all the parts, but I can't find it in my account. Maybe I'm just not searching for the right thing. I've tried the number and various forms of the title but nothing comes up. I'm sure I bought it here. The naming is like other Daz tutorials. And there is a Manifest file, etc.

In answer to your title question: Yes, items stay in your account and should appear in your product library even if removed from the store.
yes, a have quite a few like that actually
It's still in the Store.
Everything should be there.
All of the John Malis outfits disappeared from the store, but the ones I purchased are still in my product library, and I could still download them.
Products do disappear from your wishlist though, if they are removed from the store.,
Thanks. I found it. The name was slightly different than the file name.
I did try just "creating" but either I overlooked it, or that search didn't bring it up. I finally found it in the store by searching for "ironman13 tutorials".
However, programs may be labeled inactive without warning and can no longer be downloaded.
"Inactive" just means no-one can buy it any more. If you already bought it, then the download links stay in your Product Library page.
"Inactive" now seems to mean that it can no longer be downloaded, at least in a few cases.
If the product has been replaced by a newer version... such as older versions of DAZ studio... the old versions are gone.
"Inactive" means not in store. You should be able to access the isntallers from your product library/DIM/Connect (delete where not appropriate) - I'm not aware of any exceptions. As Cybersox says, if a product has been updated without changing its SKU, so it still uses the same Product Library page, then usually the old files will be replaced with the new and cannot be updated.
Have you confirmed that you can still download the inactive files?
I've bought a lot of things that are no longer in the store, and while I haven't checked every one, I've checked a few and they are all still downloadable.
I use several items that aren't in the store anymore and they are still accessible in my product library
Just had a try. Yes, the links are still active.
One key point, though.... a product being downloadable and that product actually WORKING are two different things. For example, I bought both versions of the old 3D Content Catalog and while both will download just fine, neither actually works anymore since they were built around the old DAZ store and used third party support software that hasn't worked since WIndows 7. Likewise, I have a bunch of items from several vendors (primarily Dreamlight) that stopped working when DAZ Studio 4 was introduced, though they theoretically still work in DS 3.
Especially shaders and lighting systems can be problematic between DAZ Studio versions. With every big jump, like DS2 to DS3, all shaders became obsolete. Whenever DAZ decides to make the jump to Studio 5, I expect something similar to happen.
