    Do you need the Interactive License? That's for things like games which need to include the 3d data - if your cartoon is just 2D renders (still images or animations) then the basic license that you buy as the initial purchase is all you need. But yes, if you do need the Interactive License you may purchase it after purchasing the full product as far as I know - if that is being awkward please open a Sales support ticket https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us

    No,  you're fine with the standard license.

    It's my understanding, as long as the changes are for your own use within a render, (still or animation,) you're covered by the standard license. Basically, you are not allowed to use content as the base for new content that you distribute, whether for sale, for free, or within a game engine.

    For example, you can export a skirt to modify in another program, (OBJ, FBX, etc.,) make your changes and bring the skirt back into Daz Studio. Render your animation, (you did mention youtube,) and you're fine. (You can even render it in that other program, like Blender.)

    But you can't export that skirt, modify it in another program adding, (or removing,) a slit up to the thigh, add a belt, scallop the hem, add ribbons, shorten or lengthen the skirt, (removing or adding polys,) and create an entirely new skirt, and then use that skirt in a game, sell it, or give it away for free.

    In both cases, the "new" skirt is a derivative work of the original, and the copyright still belongs to the PA or Daz, depending on the product used. But the standard license covers your use of the derivative work within your own 3D art, and you can sell or otherwise distribute the artwork, (still image or animation,)

    Does this help?

    Actually game use would be OK (with an Interactive License), as with renders (under the basic EULA) you are free to modify the content as required, as long as the end result is used in accordance with the EULA.
