Mimic Live installation - very confused

I am fairly new to 3d modelling but have started my journey with Daz (which I am loving) - currently using 4.8 32 & 64

I decided to start playing with some basic animations, and wanted to expand on the lip sync functionality in Daz so decided to purchase the Mimic package - and have found it very confusing and frustrating. I currently have an open support request but wanted to see if the wider community had any ideas.

Firstly - the different products are very confusing between Mimic Pro, Mimic Live, Mimic Lite etc. Lip sync in Daz suggests loading the external plugin for Mimic Pro, but this is in fact the Carrrara product. Further confusion from the fact that the image in the window that opens is also the Mimic Pro picture - not the Mimic live one, that I have since been told is what I need.

After buying (then refunded for) Mimic Pro, I have now purchased and installed Mimic Live for Daz. It comes with two versions - 32 & 64 bit, which itself is odd as lip sync is only available in 32 bit. I have installed both versions and validated they are there (under help>installed plugins). But when I select load Mimic Pro from the Daz Lip Sync panel, it asks to find the file Mimic3.exe - which I cannot find anywhere.
SO what is Mimic Pro 3. There are install instructions here -

https://helpdaz.zendesk.com/entries/23150487-How-to-Install-DAZ-Mimic-Pro-3

...which I have followed, but still cannot find it. The file list in the wiki for Mimic Live backs this up - there is no mimic3.exe there.

Any help would be really appreciated.

    Mimic Live is not, as far as I know, launched from the Mimic Lite pane - it has its own pane inside DAZ Studio (presumably under Window>Panes(Tabs)).

    Thanks Richard. I went back and started the whole process again, and now I can see it where you say. I think I was completely thrown by the link in the lip sync window that I stopped looking elsewhere.

    With that in mind, do you know what the mimic3.exe program is, and where it can be purchased?

    Thanks again
