Very nice questions but no real answer actually. I know that Daz/Studio is free and will still be free after the Beta release. Daz was claming that they will keep this but will sell some plug-in. The empty tools window could be for this. For exaples it could be the locations for improved hares and clothes like the dynamic hares and clothes in Poser but this is only pure speculations from my side. Maybe Morgan can give you a more detailed answer. Jacques
