4.9 is no different that 4.8 in terms of content creation and editing. Only difference is eventually content sold at Daz's site will have Drm protection. Does not affect older content or new content created or sold elsewhere while using 4.9 since you can still use them via your content library. They might not show in smart content via Daz connect though unless you add metadata etc. EG I am in 4.9. I can still use everything the exact same. Only difference is 4.9 is much faster and stable regarding Iray and 3dL. So in a nutshell, content creation in 4.8 and 4.9 is no different. Also a lot of people are making assumptions when the drm content isn't even out yet. Again, it does not affect content sold elsewhere but only new content at Daz that will use it.
