It works fine for Windows 8.1 64-bit. I like it and use it often with Poser, and it saves a ton of time in terms of finding things. But I sometimes wish I had stuck with 1.2 instead of getting the update to 1.3. It's more useful for those with vast amounts of Poser content than a small amount of the latest DAZ file formats, though it will index and thumbnail the latter after a fashion. The problems with the licence server, which happened about three years ago, have long since been cured.

If you have a huge old runtime to index, you need to run RSR Converter on its /content/ folder first, and tick the box to recurse the sub-directories, to ensure you have all the nice thumbnails showing up in PzDB on your older content.

So... make sure you run RSR Converter converter on your content/runtime folder, then try PzDB 1.2 first and if you like that stick with it. For DAZ Studio, my amount of newer types of content is still fairly low, so I find I can manage to find stuff fairly easily with the DAZ Content Library. The freeware Agent Ransack can also be useful in fast searching for keywords on your runtime filenames, though I rarely need to use it instead of PzDB and/or the DAZ Library.
