DAZ Central vs. Just DAZ Studio?

Have not been on for a while.  I'm runing DAZ Studio 4.15.0.2.  I popped in to see what's available in terms of upgrade for Studio and am I correct in assuming that NOW you have to dowload DAZ central to get the program?  Maybe I'm confused, but is there is no separate download for just the DAZ Studio program (because I don't need the content management help).  I manage my own content my own way.

    No, you can download it without Daz Central - it is just very hidden.

    In your product library you should have Daz Studio 4 Pro https://www.daz3d.com/daz-studio-4-pro

    And from your product library you can download it.

    Thanks, much appreciated.  I thought I was having a stupid morning because I couldn't find just the DAZ program by itself.  I guess they are really pushing DAZ central use hard so they buried the standalone program download on purpose.  I don't like that kind of marketing.

    I downloaded the update directly from the other content installer app for DS -- DIM (DAZ Install Manager). You don't need Central. (Agree about the marketing on it though. Ugh.)

    The general release has stand alone installers, the beta requires one of the install applications Install Manager (apologies, I should have rememberd that Central doesn't do betas) - but Install manager is still there, there is a link at the foot of every Product Library page for a product that can be installed.

    Sadly, it doesn't have a manual download in my product library. So, I have to use either DIM or DAZ Central.

    That's weird, there are definitely manual downloads for me.

    Are you sure you're not looking at the beta?
