Can't find my installed DRMed content

I'm running 4.9 and I have downloaded the .sea and .sep files for the content. I have logged in to Daz Connect and gone through the procedure described in the FAQ, it removed the files from the install directory and didn't give me any error messages but I can't find the content.

The content directory manager says Daz connect is installing into a new directory. I have added this as a Daz Studio format directory but Studio shows this as empty. I looked into the directory and found it only has a data subdirectory, it hasn't got the People or Environments directories that the readme files say the content should be in. It hasn't installed them into People and Environments in my existing library either.

I've tried stopping and restarting Studio and installing the content again with no difference. I can't find any messages in the logfile saying it had problems installing them.

Is this a problem with my setup or do I have to do something else to see the content?

    Where did you look? You won't find Connect content in the regular Content Library tab, only in Smart Content.

    I am looking in the content library tab, I have never used smart content.

    I've bought a lot of stuff and I rely on my own catergories to keep track of it. If this means that you can't catergorise DRMed content I don't think I'll be buying any of it.

    P.S. The readme files for Dragon Queen and Medieval Storage room do say "You can find new icons for loading this product in the following DAZ Studio Folders:" which was where I was expecting to find them. Is this a case of Readmes being copied and pasted without being properly checked?

    Daz Connect installed products are displayed in database driven content views (encryption does not change whether or not this is true). The Content Library pane provides one such view; the "% Formats" top-level containers are not database driven, but the Products, Categories and Search top-level containers are.

    For example, the "Lynsey for Genesis 3 Female(s)" product (one of the Encrypted Daz Connect products) is displayed in Content Library : Container View : Products > L > Lynsey for Genesis 3 Female(s)

    They should be in the Content Library pane under Products, inalphabetical order, and under Categories, as listed in the readme.

    I have reported the issue with the readmes listing the DZ Studio Formats locations.

    Thank you for that information Chohole and Richard. I've found them and categorised them now.
