    Well Cybersox, https://www.daz3d.com/memberships now lists the DAZ+ membership pricing at $9.99/month, so that isn't $70 any longer. I wonder what happens to those of us who have already pre-paid for DAZ+ for a few more years? I hope they still honor that.

    They really have to honor those unless they're going out of business, as they've taken money taken in exchange for advertised services promised.   

     

    OK, can we not panic THIS soon? Every time DAZ does anything, half of the forum turn into Chicken Littles.

    Ok, guys, I've rounded up all the Premiere questions threads and merged them. It's easier if we can keep all the questions in one place (to track them, to make sure people can find answers/solutions/discussions). If it is sale related, still post those to https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/685096/new-year-new-sales-thread-report-issues-here-reporting-only#latest

    I know there's a lot of questions right now. Please help us help you find your answers. Point others (if we miss threads) to this one please.

    Thank you.

    Your beleaguered moderators.

    I have purchased a lot of things in the past two months, and I doubt that the features and bundles provided by the Premier are mostly things I have purchased. I hope there is more information.

    Not withstanding the fact I haven't found a way to pay for Premier...

    - My Daz+ is not refundable. All I can do is say "Don't rebill me in 2026".

    - And yes. My Daz+ does not expire until May 2026. That isn't a typo, I have paid for another 18 months, or $100 of membership.

    - There does not seem to be an upgrade path.

    So what am I expected to do if I want the new features? Just suck it up? I doubt that, but at the moment, that's the only answer I have!

    From the reporting thread.

    Cris Palomino said:

    Folks, they are looking into the links and updating them. The D+ one is a visual bug, you haven't lost your memberships; they're looking into them. They are honoring all current memberships until they exprire.

    And in the Daz+ forum, Jack Tomalin also said it's a visual bug.

    Existing tokens seems to have been extended: the two I had and who are suppose to expire in three days are now valid for 13 days.

    Hey, that’s very interesting. Thanks for this. I see that my situation is the same. If I go to https://www.daz3d.com/subscription, I see my Daz+ subscription still active. But if I go to https://www.daz3d.subscription/memberships, I show up as free tier. I suppose there is some administrative need to keep the annual subscriptions listed separately from the monthly ones, but previously purchased annual ones appear not to have been canceled after all. That’s nice.

    The previous link as it was in the last Daz+ email I received should lead you to the previous Daz+ page in your account:

    https://www.daz3d.com/subscription

    (The link in the newsletter has a lot of other characters after subscription, but I don't think they are necessary).

    The membership-site stays Base membership, but can still access the Daz+-only forum.
    I assume its a glitch. Just as not being able to buy Premiere at the moment is a glitch, because no link brings you there :-)

    I  think that if they could not launch this flawlessly they should not have launched it AT ALL. I had over a year left of my membership and now it says I have none left?  That's NOT the way to get me to subscribe to something FOUR TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE ON TOP OF WHAT I HAD BEFORE!

    Our subscriptions are still active and the new page showing us as Base member is a bug, as per Cris Palomino (quoted in my previous message) and Jack Tomalin (who said it in the Daz+ forum).

    That's a bug in the new page. This shows your my membership correctly as someone mentioned above.

    The character converter is what I'm mostly interested in, so here is a frank question;

    What does the Premier converter do better than Manfriday's or RSSY's? Does it convert HD morphs? Does it avoid the cascading effect of a character having multiple morphs looking like they went through a mangler?

    Actually, I probably would pay for it. But not until there's a clear answer about the upgrade path. Maybe I'm the record holder with 18 months left on Daz+ (?) but I'm sure plenty of people have a long period.

    And can someone point me at the signup page? It seems broken! Thanks!

    Incredibly sage advice.

    now if they added HDmorph creation and Dforce Strandbased hair to the benefits of Premier ... devil

    maybe some will bite

    as is, a Kitbash3D Cargo subscription is more tempting to me, sadly I have now missed the sale

    This. That's what I was wondering if we could do with the sculpting tools. If we can create HD morphs, I'm very interested. If not, meh. I'll just continue my workflow as is.

    To repeat, nothing has been taken away.. if you can't see your current membership - it's a bug which is being worked on.

    Cris I love your choice of word lmao. Salute to all moderators. As usual a new DAZ feature launch is a hot mess

    My Daz+ membership was paid up through mid-2026 as well.  I DO expect the Daz sales team to honor that agreement, so I'm very curious to see how this is handled.

    Also, I very much would prefer to continue the 'discounted' annual billing for such things in the future, should anyone on the Daz sales team care about such things.

    Like most, I am wondering about my, current and paid for, subscription. I am also wondering about his "New" version of Studio for premier subscribers. Is this a for runner to Studio being a paid for program?

    Looks like I am now back to Base with my existing DazPlus subscription cancelled.
    Do I need a new subscription?
    I would have still had about a year's worth of DazPlus membership left.

    Is there an annual plan or sale?

    Um ... yeah. Me too, and my Daz+ membership was paid through late 2025. 

    Mine was paid til 2026!!!

    What pricing do people with long periods left on Daz+ get if they want to upgrade? Or do they get a refund?

    It is pricey, but it probably is worth it if you buy a ton of stuff. I think my PC+ membership expires this month, so I'm considering it, but I'd like to know about those Studio features before I make any decisions. If the 'sculpting and morphing tools' is just Mesh Grabber, then I don't know. I have a feeling this is aimed more at brand new users who would actually benefit from getting older bundles and a lot of legacy content, as well as Studio plugins and products that do what they'll need without having to wait for them like the rest of us did. I don't think this is a bad deal, but it might not be for 'power users' like many of us.

    True, and if DAZ Studio Premiere is as dependent upon being logged in to DAZ as I expect it to be, then I seriously doubt that it will even be able to cope with the massive amounts of files on my harddrives or the size of my average render.

    I guess DAZ doesn't want my money. I tried subscribing to Premier using PayPal and it doesn't work. I tried manually inputting my credit card info and it ends up in an infinite loading screen. Payment is not working for me. Thanks for saving my $20. I haven't subscribed to DAZ+ for a long time now and I wanted to check if this new membership tier is worth it.

     

    Reading through the comments, looks like they rolled out this tier before checking if it's going to conflict with current DAZ+ subscriptions.

    ••••••Free robust character bundles monthly•••••• 

    I want more information on this. It's very vague and vague isn't a reassuring selling point. Anyone have access to "the list" they are offering for free or what-have-you? 'Cos, I'm really doubting they will be selling something like Sophia 9 Space Mechanic Pro Bundle or Zahara 9 Pro Bundle for $18.95 a month...? Are they starter bundles, add-on bundles? And for what Genesis Generation?

    OK, that must surely be the record!

    A couple of questions, first about content:

    • the newsletter I just received is speaking about 'Your choice of a FREE new character bundle every month' but I don't see a way to see what is the bundles selection. There is no link in the newsletter on the subject and none in the new Daz Premier page.
    • what is the exclusive content we are supposed to have access to as long as our subscription is active ?

    And then one about Daz Studio Premier. My guess is we only have access to Daz Studio Premier if we have an active subscription, but unlike the 'exclusive Premier Only content', it's not clearly written on this page. It's also presented as a paid software: will it be possible to pay for it without a subscription ?

    I started my own thread, but you beat me to posting by 5 minutes, so moving the text of my post over since you know Richard will have shoved them all together by morning...

    So, at $18.98 a month, that's $227.76 a year and no way mentioned to get that at a lower price, versus Prime which renews at $70.00 a year with multiple options to get the renewall for much less.  Looking at the supposed benefits... I'm not seeing a great appeal, especially since most of the things that are being offered as promos like the Gen 9 base units and, apparently, a good portion of the monthly bundles, are things that have been out forever and which a lot of the target consumer is likely to already have.  So, exactly what is it that we'd be paying four times as much for...?  DAZ needs to demote the person who put the promo together as it really doesn't make Premiere sound like much of a benefit.

     

    Apart from the content, which as you say many of the target group already own much of; certainly the older stuff, all I see is a $20/month rental of software features. Not appealing. 

    Especially when it's a rental of features that are already available as a free program.
