Problems installing AniMate2 in Daz 4.12

Hello lovely peoples - firstly, Happy New Year!

Secondly, I'm having a right 'mare trying to install Animate2, which I've just purchased. Am using Windows 10, 64 bit with DazStudio 4.12

It's not listed anywhere in the Install Manager (have checked the filter boxes for Daz 3 and 4 and above are ticked, as well as the one for software and cleared the search bar) - nothing in there to let me download and install it. It's also not showing up in my Products tab within Daz or on the Install tab in there either (I don't expect it to, with being a plugin, just mentioning for completeness!) 

I've manually downloaded the Win 64 exe (and the Win 32 one) and attempted to manually install but I keep getting the following error:

"There has been an error. The installation path for DAZ Studio could not be found. 'aniMate 2 DS3 (64bit)" cannot be installed. Setup will now quit. The application will exit now."

The path it defaults to to try to install is is below:
C:\Users\cpeac\OneDrive\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio3\content

Now my Daz Studio is set up on my D drive, not in the default files it normally creates on the C drive,  but no matter where I point the file, it comes up with the same error - I've tried recreating the file path above under the D Drive where the rest of Daz is installed and it still won't have it. It's exactly the same if I run the Win 32 exe.

Anyone got any ideas? Possibly my New Years brain just can't figure out exactly where I should be pointing it to, if its not the default folder it would normally expect to find. 

Cheers and thanks.

    Animate2 is built in to Studio, just enter the serial number to activate it.

    It's in help menu > about installed plugins just in case you don't know where to enter your serial. To find the serial go to https://www.daz3d.com/customer/account ; then there is a lock icon on the top right, click on that to see all the serial numbers.

    Gah I really do have New Years Eve brain! Thank you folks, I was thinking I had to install the downloadable .exe file BEFORE it would appear in my plugin dialogue for the serial number.

    Have just shut down/reopened Daz and it's showing up in the Plugins tab as it should be. Thanks for braining for me today when mine clearly isn't :D
