So Is There A Way To Copy All Necessary Content Onto Your PC To Work Offline?

Still trying to get my company rig that can't connect to Daz or install anything using Install Manager up and running [see https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/389601/install-manager-won-t-install#latest ].  Kind of given up trying, so the next best thing is to work offline by just copying all the files onto the company rig.

    I would try putting the content I want to use on a external hard drive that plugs in USB and try using that hard drive that you put the content on plug it into USB on your companies pc to access your 3d content . if your company has external USB ports enables you should be able to access on the external hard drive.

    Thanks for the reply.  I actually copied my entire "MY Daz Library" from my home rig onto the company rig but the major tabs remain empty like smart content, render settings etc.  I'm assuming because the computer can't link up to have "Daz Essentials" installed.  Wondering if I can manually create each folder/category in the empty tabs and then link them up manually?

    Yes, for about a month but it refuses to connect and I get failed to connect.  Our IT dept keeps asking me to check the program's proxy settings.  Told them there aren't any.

    Lol it sounds like we work at the same company.  Seriously, though...  we've got locks to enforce proxies that require passwords just to get to the part of the internet they designated as the "safe zone".

    DAZ uses system proxy, no middle man, so there's something blocking you at a port or site category level.

    Sorry, dude, I feel your pain.  I second the notion of downloading it all to an external drive and copying it over that way from a donor machine...

    Or do what I do:

    Offload the installation, content, the whole smash onto an external. I can move to a machine that doesn't have Studio installed at all (remember to move the CMS to the Library folder), and get right back to rendering.

    The thing I don't recommend is storing the content zips on the same hard drive. It's like asking for your HD to die, just so you can spend a week to get your purchases downloaded again.

    Speaking of moving content around, it's not impossible to take just the installers you need on an external, point DIM to the place you put them, and check the "work offline" box.

    Thanks guys.  Company just sent out a mandate for all staff to work from home for both US and Canada because of CV19.  That's like 90,000 employees.  So like for the past 2 and half years, I just continue using my personal rig.
