Are earlier generation DAZ products compatible with DAZ 4.6??

Newb question, I know:

I see many product listings that specify certain DAZ versions. Does that mean the product is only compatible with the version it specifies, or will it work in later generation versions?

For example, I'm looking at a pose megapack that says it works with these products:

Poser 6 and above, DS3/4/4.5

Does that mean it won't work in 4.6?

Thanks in advance!!

    Hello,
    The main reason for naming a certain DAZ Studio version is the chaanges, first to .dsf format (came in 4.0) and then .duf format (came in 4.5)
    Those items will not work in earlier versions of studio for a logical reason, no support for those formats.

    At the same time, there can sometimes be problems with the .daz format in never versions of DAZ Studio, but that can be worked around by not loading the .daz file but load the Poser .cr2 or .pp2 file then apply the .ds DAZ Studio materials instead.

    Hope this helps.

    Awesome, thanks! I'm just a beginner so I'll have to look into that process more, sounds straightforward. Very glad to know this!

    Thanks again!

    At this time all 4.5+ content is compatible. DS4.6 is just a updated version of DS4.5 not a fully new version. The FULL versions are still on DS3 DS4.0 and DS4.5 I do not expect another Full version change until DS5 Full.

    Thanks, Jaderail. But that brings me back to me initial question...will DS3 and DS4.0 products work in 4.6?

    If the item is a prop/clothing/character/hair/etc, there's better than 99% chance that yes, it will work.

    If it's a pluging/add on...then less than 50% chance it would work.

    As noted Content should. All my content from DS2 to DS4.6 still works, mostly. Also as noted plugins will only work for the version they were made for. Content like props, figures, hairs and the like, I have had few issues with as long as they worked in DS3. Some of the very old content has errors though. But then they show there age and I really should just remove the items I do not use any more.
