3D Printing Licences - What?

  • I looked at the Daz+ thread's script solution and it seems it's a bit flaky, or was so, and I know nothing about running scripts anyway...
    But if the Daz folks are working on providing the licenses automatically, I'm going to trust them to do it for me.

    I'm not lazy. My eyes, tho, cannot read text very well anymore, and forcing it causes huge migraines.
    (Thank gawd I can see images, set up scenes, etc, without too much a problem!)

    So thank you Daz techs!!! You're saving me and many others, for whatever their reasons, more than just our time!
    This is a very big deal More than I had realized until just now!! Cheers.

    I checked about 50 products and each one already had the printing license added! Thanks @Daz and whoever made that possible, really awesome!

    Well, that was false hope extinguished...

    I just checked about 50 D.O. products and I got the opposite of metaside with Daz not auto-adding any printing license.

    The only ones I have are the couple of bundles I manually added yesterday.  Two pages of bundles with their individual products still Standard License only, as well as any other individual D.O. product in my library.

    So, is metaside the lucky one Daz chose to auto-add printing licenses for, or has anyone else had any products auto-add the license?

    They added all mine sometime in the last couple of days. I would bet they're still working on getting everyone's licenses sorted.

    I seem to have only what I added myself, which is a tiny fraction of the DOs I own. I haven't checked everything, of course.

    Thank you, @butterflyfish and @barbult .

    I will wait patiently for my turn, but I like that it is becoming a reality.

    I wonder what the auto-add user list criteria is; They do not seem to be going by join date (though, butterflyfish would qualify from an early users list as myself), nor by Platinum Club subsrcibers (as metaside is not a member), and I don't believe alphabetically by user name.

    The only two variables I can see them using is either by real name alphabetical, or life-long monetary highest-to-lowest.  Both of which I should fall somewhere in the middle of users to add.

     

  • Where do I look to see if my DO licenses were updated?

  • butterflyfishbutterflyfish Posts: 1,269

    Look on a DO in the store that you own, and see if the box to buy the license is greyed out.

    I hope they do fix the glitch for "buy the pro bundle after July 12, 2022 and loose the chance to get free printing licenses for included products that you bought before then"

    Mine haven't been added yet.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,145

    was thinking again. Even though DAZ is supposedly adding the license to products we own prior to the 12th of July, there are reports of some not added and others are, to individual accounts. So basically we still need to check every one of them to see if they're added or not? 
    What happens after the cutoff when we find something not added? We going to have to pay for it?  It will be the a year from now I'm going to want to print something and then find the license was not added?

    3D printing does not require the new licence, only selling the 3D printed items does.

    or otherwise using it commercially, e.g. free to promote a commercial enterprise or undertaking

    Okay, thanks. That means mine haven't been added yet.

    When licenses are added, is your product library page updated? For example, Victoria 8 on my product library page reads simply as Standard License.

  • DaremoK3DaremoK3 Posts: 798

    @zombiewhacker :

    Yes, the library page will update to read 3dprinting License.

    And, thank you, Daz, for adding that  --  It is really helpful.  Especially in the cases where the product no longer has a store page, but the product page shows the changed license (through bundles adding it automatically).

    We just need a way to add license if product no longer has a store page and is not in a bundle (if Daz does not auto-add everything).

    Also, what do we do in cases where not only does an old product not have a store page, but seems to have been culled altogether from the bundle (no store page or in the product library, but was clearly part of the bundle evinced by the bundle images)?

    I spent last week, a couple hours through each day, adding licenses. 152 pages (4000+ products) but Richard Haseltine has stated that Daz is infact adding licenses to peoples accounts currently.

    I just did the same, I have 2400 items in my PL, most of which are DOs now. I should have read the forums, even with a bookmarklet I wrote it was time consuming. Live and learn. I vastly appreciate that searching for 'bundle' in my PL and applying the license to those saved me some time.

    For what it's worth, a grayed out box is very subtly gray for those of us with bad eyes and small screens it's hard to tell ... Try something easy like Daz dog 8 or tax horse 2, To see if the box has been great out.

    All of my Daz Original models were purchased before July 12, 2022 (and my purchase history goes back to 2006), thus all of my DO models should qualify for a free 3D printing license. As far as I can tell, the license has not yet been automatically added to any of my items. Will the license appear in my product library? (See image)
    Is this procedure still in progress?
    When should I expect it to be complete?
    If I find that it didn't apply the license to some of my products after the cutoff date, will I have recourse to still receive the license for free?

    Yes it should show there

    I just found a few items that got missed for free 3D printing licenses. Can my account be run again to see if they can get picked up please.

    Are you sure they ran it previously? Do you have any 3D-printing licenses that you didn't add manually?

    I've checked hundreds of Daz Originals in my library and none of the items had 3D-printing licenses before I added them myself. Just finished a batch of two hundred this morning - if Daz is doing anything, I can't tell, because nothing I've seen has been added automatically.

    I can't speak for anyone else of course, but I'm as sure as I can be that I had some stuff added. Some time ago I started adding some items when I read about the free printing licenses, but I started with the newer stuff and bundles. When checking a few days ago if licenses were added, I checked the oldest items and then randomly jumped around in the list and checked some more. I didn't find a single one that wasn't added. Sorry about the different experiences and about people waiting and repeatedly checking. But for people who get the licenses added, there is not pressure to post about it, so I would expect more people posting here who have not yet received the free printing licenses as compared to those who already got the treatment...

     

  • My product library has now been updated. Much appreciation to DAZ.

    Just found out that I still missed a bunch of 3d printing licences (even though I added 4000+ manually myself), which have not been added for me automatically. I will just use this as the way to check whether DAZ will automatically add 3d printing licences as they promised.

    Me either, except the ones I manually purchased.

  • None of mine have been added, I started adding some myself but gave up in disgust!

  • This iss till being processed - they are apparently adding about a million per day, but there are a lot of items to process. If need be the deadline will be extended (I'm not sure if that is the actual end-date or if they will just keep grinding away after the end-date).

    Thank you for the update, Richard.
