Absolutely nothing anyone suggested here works! Mayby I'm clicking the effing icon wrong or something. The only dials available are 3: Eyelashes curl, eyelashes length and some other effing thing. Nothing that would have any affect on any other "shaping". I have the genesis 8 figure seleted in the Scene tab, then I double click the bejeeezuz out of the Icons (Age 5-6, young teen, whatever). Nothing happens. Not a single darn thing. No extra dials, nothing. Also nothing actually happend with the genesis 8 figure.

What in the world am I doing wrong, then? Surely I have to be able to see the effect on the selected genesis 8 character/figure/object, once I have double-clicked the Apply Age icons? Right? Or am I missing somthing?

Sounds like you have installed it wrong.

How did you do the installation? 

I purchased it from the DAZ store and installed it via DAZ Central. Was that the wrong way?

Same problem. I can't dowload anything via central or DIM.

Agreed.  This is nuts.  I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it - like you can litteraly spend money and there appears to be no way to currently actualy get the product you paid for, and it seems like this situation has now lasted for at least two full days.

There is however a way to get the product, which is "installing" it directly inside Daz Studio. I believe this is called Daz Connect, to download the product directly in Daz Studio.

The problem of DIM and Daz Central must be resolved quickly however. This is unacceptable.

Probably a safe bet that DAZ doesn't want this happening either and are trying to find a solution. Gotta love customers 

I cannot install any asset with DAZ Install (I get a message "download failed") or DAZ Central (0% appears and then the download stops immediately). It worked perfectly fine until yesterday. 

Does anybody have an idea of what could cause this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi 

just purchased this but it wont download? 

I've tried through install manager and daz central  and manually I get 

{
  "code": "expired_auth_token",
  "message": "",
  "status": 401
}

Any help appreciated 

Hi. I hope this is the right place to put this.

I'm pretty new to DAZ3D and I just now purchase CB Sophia HD with an interactive license: https://www.daz3d.com/cb-sophia-hd-for-genesis-81-female

However, no matter what method I use to try to install the file, be it DAZ Central, the install manager, or manual download, it does not work. DAZ Central will show an install bar for a brief second before going back to the green install button. The install manager says simply the download has filed. Trying to download the file manually takes me to a webpage that says the following:

 I purchase a DAZ product the other day and did not have any problems downloading it. Any ideas as to what's causing this?

Thank you.

Daz Central killed my PostGRE CMS connection which I got working after many, many long hours effort to get it to work. 

This thread will be closed by the moderator because Daz doesn't like negative comments about their products in these forums but I'm gonna type it anyway.

Not true. It is true, as noted in the ToS, that we remove posts discuss9ng mod actions - but we are going to leave this one just to be difficult.

After finally installing a functioning (functioning quite well, actually) version of Studio on my Big Sur iMac and many days of significant effort and finally getting CMS to work and being able to use Studio on-line with all of my smart content available to me in my library (which is housed on an external SSD), I was having trouble downloading and installing recently purchased content through DIM which is usually rock solid reliable. It installed some of the content but I was getting "Download failed!" messages on some of the other items. My assumption is that there is some Daz store server glitch which is preventing the download and installation of this content.

So I thought I'd give Central a try again. I installed it. It immediately froze after about a minute like it has every time I've tried to use it since I first installed it after Big Sur compatibility was made available.

And now I've lost CMS again. I've tried all the same flips and twists I used originally to get CMS working and they've all failed. I no longer have access to my smart content.

Thanks Daz Central.

Daz Central sucks. Big time.

Quite a few users have had issues with Daz Central on Big Sur, but as Frank says there seems to be a general issue with the .zip server at the moment affecting Daz central, Install maanger (which does seem good with Big Sur), and manual downloads.

Same here.  Both Daz Central and DIM aren't working.

I purchased Cloudscape Creator Volumetrics and I cannot download the product even though it is listed in DIM and Daz Central.  When I try to download through DIM I get a ''failed'' error, see attached image.

Why I cannot download the product ??

Just a note, so as not to leave it hanging - Connect is working for me (that is, installing through Daz Studio - Daz Central is affected and I typed the wrong name earlier so it may be that the other report meant Central).

I have the same problem! Tried DAZ Central, DIM and manual, but nothing works. I'm pretty much sure it's something on the DAZ side.
Hope they will fix it soon.

The Kent Hair download fails via DIM, and if I try to download the .zip manually I get "expired auth token" - I don't use Daz Central at all. Thanks for any help!

Both DIM and Daz Central are not downloading any contect.

I'm guessing you already know but please fix this;)

Have you killed Daz Central from the Activity Monitor and then tried a restart? 

I'm assuming you have an older version of Daz Central? In that the latest one won't run on Macs at all (at least with the latest macOS).    Can you temporarily uninstall it?  That's quite harsh though that it would block a restart.   That is definitely not normal.   Have you reached out to Daz support team?

My Mac is due for an upgrade, however when I go to restart, Daz Central prevents the restart. I cannot get the upgrades unless the computer can restart to install them. I have tried quitting both Daz Studio and Daz Central and yet it still prevents the restart and shutdowns. 

Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issues. im deleting the files and its still not working...

 

edit: ok so i manage to get the genesis 8 expressions to work after deleting the cloud folders...but now the genesis 8.1 expressions aren't working!!! WHY?!!?

Because you deleted them, presumably - the /data/cloud/ folder is used by Daz Connect for products it isntalls - by the sound of it you had a Connect instalaltion and that was the root of the issue. For this trick to work I would think you need to use Install Manager or another non-DS method; for now find the Genesis 8 Starter essentials product in DS, right-click on its cotnainer, adn choose Uninstall - if there is a DIM, Daz Central, or manual install that should now work and the trick for loading expressions should also work.

Of coruse you will also need to reinstate any other products that were installed through Connect (no circled triangle icon on the product thumbnail) to get that content to work.

If you already have a way of installing content, that works for you, I would not recommend chancing DAZ Central. At all.

Gah!

What if i just wanted to use as catalog of sorts to view my content easier?
