So I reinstalled Daz Ztudio and my models via DIM and all went well until I got to the LAMH and it won't install. So I went to the page and yes it says I purchased it, but now there is a new version.. So I have to buy it again? ummmm nope

There is a thread for LAMH:

Funny thing, I have started to invest in 3D hardware because of LAMH.
I thought I will use LAMH quite often and be able to create my own hair with it.
LAMH was too complicated for me, so I really were never used it to its full potential.
After iray and dForce was released, I have never looked back at it.
Do you mean the bit on the product page that says:
Details
NOW UPDATED TO VERSION 1.6! See Feature List for new features.
You automatically get that version, no need to buy again, just make sure you are using the most recent installer. The only thing you might want to buy is the LAMH Catalyzer (which is an add-on), but that's only if you use Alessandro AM's animal models and want to render them more easily in Iray.
Catalyzer doesn't report any Required Products on the store page, but if it's a mislabeled add-on for a product I don't have that'd explain why it keeps throwing up errors.
Oops, sorry if what I wrote was misleading. I don't think you need the bought LAMH version for Catalyzer to work - I think I read somewhere that you only need the Free Player, but maybe it doesn't even need that, I'm not sure. And since the OP already has the bought version of LAMH I didn't think to mention that, I was only pointing out that for Alessandro's own animals the Catalyzer may be useful.
What sort of problems are you having, @margrave ?
Catalyzer is a standalone plugin for rendering Alessandro's Catalyzer animals. LAMH only renders the LAMH animals.
"Could not activate LAHM2Iray Catalyzer evaluation. Plug-in disabled."
Keeps popping up in my log file.
Also, Felidae doesn't have any hair when it loads in, even though the thumbnail shows it with a mane.
I haven't needed to use it yet, so I haven't really looked into the problem. Maybe I'm just missing something.
Is it enabled in the menu Help/About Installed Plugins? The padlock should be green. The hair doesn't show up until it is rendered I think.
It isn't, but it says it needs to be registered, so I guess I have to get a serial key somewhere. That explains it.
Look in My Account/Serial Numbers.
The Catalyzer Hair does show up under Texture Shaded View, I just looked :)
Yeah, I just skimmed the docs and read that. Like I said, I haven't needed to use it yet, so I didn't bother looking into it.
Somewhere?, the serial numbers should be in "My Account -> Serial numbers" here at the DAZ site.
So anyways..yes I did install it with latest version of DIM.. When I start DS and load the LAMH racoon..there is no reference to LAMH anywhere..when I do load the racoon..either the LAMH or the Catallyst one..still nothing but under Create at the very bottom is "attach look at my hair preset"...I click it..and DS just shuts down.. None of this make any sense.. I know it was visible and functioning in the previous version.. so now it ended up being just a waste of money I guess
Well I finally got it to work..seems I needed that catalyst addon thing..but it still seems different than the old way..like I used to be able to use the viewer to create hair strands..but now theres just a blank screen to the side.. but oh well :o) speaking of screens..is there a way to resize the perspective view screen..or is 16:9 the only format? Just wondering because if I just want to render one item..seems a waste for DS to render all that blank extra side space.. Thanks for the help with LAMH everyone
