Is there any way to actually GET Studio 4.9 Beta?

Apart from dealing with DAZ Connect, that is?

The program itself not in my Product library as a download.

Actually, I don't violently object to letting DAZ Connect install the program. I just flatly refuse to deal with encrypted content at this point. And I intend to hold out as long as it's possible. I prefer to manually install everything, and make a back up on a separate drive, too.

 But I don't see any way to actually download the program. There's a link to a tiny file called 1_12000.sep, but I have no idea what that is or what I'm supposed to do with it.

Frankly, I'd be willing to pay for a CD or DVD to be burned and mailed to me. That way I'd have a clean backup copy automatically.

    Connect can't install DS or plugins, so it's weird Connect packages are available... :/

    Betas can only be downloaded via DIM, not via manual download. DAZ decided that because they need to install the beta with different parameters as regular versions (registry entries and temp directories, for example) so that you can have both on the same machine.

    Did you "buy" it? http://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-beta

    If you "bought" it, filter your Product Library for 'Beta'. I made the mistake of filtering on '4.9', and only the release version shows up there.

    But as noted, there are no stand-alone install files available. This was the same for the 4.8 beta. These  can only be installed via DIM.
