duplicate key - is it proof of illegal use of morphs, if not how can i fix it?[Solved]

Hi, I've bought some characters from someone via DeviantArt, they're riddled with  duplicate key error which loads now with every G8M.  Here's the log attached. 

 

Do these duplicate key errors mean that they've used Daz figures to build their morphs? I've contacted him about these errors and he's refused to do anything about it. That was nearly two months ago. Inf fact he refused to accept that there were errors at first and said I was the only person to complain about it. Like it's my fault. I uninstalled the figures until this morning when I figured I'd see what I could do. He's not a very nice person it seems and I've given up trying to do anything but the decent way. If he's used Daz figures from other PA's fraudulently then who am I to interfere with the wheels of justice?

If everything is fine then how can I fix it? I've just done an ERC Bake on the first dial and nothing happened. I mean, there were no other dials linked to it other than on hidden morph which still dialled in after the bake.

oh, I don't really understand how but, I seem to have fixed it from showing me the warning at least. I don't know how, I baked the freezed one dial, then the HD dial which messed it up so I copied the morphs from the back up. To fix the missing files error I saved the character out again this time no duplicate keys and no missing files. I get the no missing files but I replaced the morphs I just ERC baked and freezed. Well, After waiting 2 months for this ideot to fix this I did myself in the time it took to bake, freeze and save. 

 

I'd still like to know if these characters are legit.

Duplicate formulas just mean there are two links between properties named Foo and Bar (that is, two links saying Foo makes the following chnages to Bar, replacing  Foo and bar with actual property names). Only the first link actually loads, so resaving it would remove the error by removing one of the links. The question is whether it was a cinflict between two products which happened to use the same names or an error in the one product, and it really isn't possible to determine that with any confidence from the available information.

oh, okay, thanks Richard.  

I didn't know that just resaving would get rid of that error too. That's really good to know!

Well, it isn't fixing it - just removing the problem links, which may well mean that the shape is no longer working as intended.

ah, okay, I'll be careful and havea back up then. Thanks.
