This package is no longer automatically downloading with the download manager, and the links to download to DIM don't work. I had to manually install it, but it no longer shows up in the smart content.
I can't help but to wonder what else has disappeared from DIM that I may have forgotten was in my list.

The bundle as such won't show, as far as I know, but you should have entries for the individual products in the bundle. Try typing
Advanced
into the filter field at top-right in DIM and check each tab. Note that there are files (the actual shaders) that need to go in the application folder - a manual install is not simply a matter of unzipping the files from the Content folder to your content directory. Also bear in mind that a manual install will not add content to the CMS - you will need to reimport metadata, checking only the manually installed items, to do that.
I suppose I could've been more precise in my complaint. I meant that none of the components of the bundle were downloading through DIM. They never showed up in my most recent re-install, which happened a couple of weeks ago after upgrading to an i-ray compatible system. I tried exactly as you suggested. Age of Arnor has always installed with DIM - at least up until DS 4.8 (64-Bit). Perhaps it's unrelated. Another possibility is that I changed my email address that I registered Daz with at around the same time. Could that have broken my license?
Anyhow, reimport metadata worked on the manual install.
However, I don't know if the problem is resolved in the bigger picture - that DIM is or is not working for it for everyone, or if it's just me. And if it's just me, could the change in registration information with Daz3d.com have glitched the license? Ori is there some other problem that would prevent it from showing up in DIM?
DIM won't show multiple accounts, if you have them (and nor will Daz Connect in DS 4.9, if you want to use that) but as long as you are logged in using the account under which you purchased, even if you have chnaged the email on that account it should show all content that is DIM-comaptible (as the shaders are), just as in yoru Product Library. Try checking Show Hidden in the Ready to Download tab, and if that fails click the Filters button and make sure that Plugin is checked.
Thank you, Richard! The "Plugin" wasn't checked. Resolved.
