No interactive license for Planet Taira (or is it an error?)

I just wanted to buy an interactive license for the Monster Environment Bundle to use in UE game projects, mostly because of Planet Taira, but just noticed that that product (Taira) does not have the IL option. Just wanted to ask if this is some error or intentional for some reason?

Also, if I buy an IL for a bundle, do I have to check with all individual products if they have ILs available or is it automatically good for all products included in the bundle?

    "Also, if I buy an IL for a bundle, do I have to check with all individual products if they have ILs available or is it automatically good for all products included in the bundle?"

     

    I had some ambiguous chat with support about this. In the end i think that it seems to be intended,  if a bundle offers a license, that all contained products also will get that license, if you buy the bundle, but i am still distantly confused about the communication.

    In the product library i had interactive licenses showing for items that don't offer one but which are contained in a bundle that i had bought one for. "To be on the safe side, assume you don't have it." had been one of the initial answers. Later i had bought a license for a bundle, (victoria 9 intro bundle) and only a single contained item shows the license under product library, up to this day - that's supposed to be an error, if i understood right.

    For clarity you could directly ask the PA for an interactive license for whichever item, if there's none offered for that. I'll do some accounting based on parsing orders, to have my own bookkeeping (plus maybe scrape the shop for what's offered and relate that to be on the safe side). Concerning how i judge it, i think, you need to know what you buy, so "confusing" shouldn't be a desirable outcome.

    If the bundle has an Interactie License it should apply to the whole set. If that isn't true here then one (the bundle or the individual item) has the wrong options - I will ask.

    Daz Originals should always have the options for interactive and 3D-printing licenses. It's only PA items that sometimes lack them, when the artist doesn't want to offer them without first approving the buyer or project. Or that's the way it's always seemed, at least - I don't recall seeing any exceptions prior to Planet Taira.

    By UE game projects, I hope you mean an original game you are creating since I am under the impression that the interactive license is ONLY for use in the creation of an original game, not mods or addons to existing ones.

    Thanks, yeah, I'm only working on my own projects, not interested in mods or addons.

    Thanks, that's what I hoped for :D

    Thanks for the info, that really sounds a bit confusing. Good idea about contacting the PA, but I think I'm just not going to use Taira in a project until I hear more about the corresponding IL...

     

    Thanks again @ all for all the helpful responses <3

    Hey, thanks again for asking! Have you maybe reveived an answer already or is this a longer process?

    Nothing yet, which is surprising - I have sent a follow-up.
