Most of my adobe stuff has the same process really. Honestly, I don't pay much attention to the release group, other than to cross check it's "rep" with the torrent sites I use. With my Adobe products, I have to do a complicated crack, patch and firewall procedure to install and use Photoshop, After Effects and Acrobat without all that creative cloud crap snooping my PC.Ĭlick to expand.No, I can't say that I have. At least with Microsoft, you can buy cheap OEM license keys for next to nothing. I use cracked pirated versions when there's no other way. not because I don't want to pay, but because I refuse to let some random company have direct access to my PC's. They sell the convenience of it all, and most of the sheep out there fall for that, but - in reality - it's just a way for them to gather meta data, which enables them to target products to people in a more selective way. Microsoft is hard at pushing Office 365 on everyone.

Sadly, the whole software industry is moving towards these perma-connected Cloud models. They don't watermark your renders in any way. Like MissFortune mentioned above, DAZ doesn't know who created what renders.

Other than that, I installed DAZ without DazConnect and I use DIM offline.

I created a new account just to get the main programs (Daz Studio and DIM) and also, I grab some freebies every now and then.
