DAZ Studio Environment Shaders, DS3 or DS4+ ?

Does anybody know if these two 3DL shaders only work in DS3, or if they will work in DS4 and up?

They are 3Delight shaders, so as long as you use 3Delight for render engine they should work in any version of Daz Studio.

I know that there are a number of VERY old 3DL shaders that no longer work, unfortunately (all the Bryce conversion ones for example, and I thought I ran into some more recent ones with an issue as well but can't remember for sure).  I'm trying to determine if these two are before or after that cutoff line.

I think these may be some that don't work in anything above DS 3, I may be wrong and they were updated at some point. If they don't work you can always return them.

They're texture-based, so the textures work, but I haven't looked into whether they work fully.

They work in DS 4.12 and even work with iray. Here is a quick Iray render of the Earth environment shader applied to a primitive sphere

Thanks!
