Purchases Tab
The Purchases tab in the library displays a list of content that is included with Poser, or purchased from your Renderosity store account, or content that is installed with Poser.
When you select either the Renderosity or PoserSoftware radio button, you will be prompted to log in to your applicable account. Enter either your email address or user name, and the associated password that you use to log in to your Renderosity or PoserSoftware account.

As content files are downloaded, they will be temporarily stored in your user Downloads folder. After the download completes successfully the zip files will be removed.
Options are as follows:
- Filter purchases: Enter text in this field to display files that contain the word(s) in your filter.
- Install All: Installs all content, including gifts that you received under your Renderosity account.
If your Renderosity account has a large number of purchases, we recommend that you use the Install button for each item you want to install. Otherwise all purchases in your Renderosity account will be installed.
- Uninstall All: Uninstalls all content, including gifts that you received under your Renderosity account.
- Check for New Purchases: Click this button if you have purchased new items from Renderosity since you opened Poser. This allows you to see new purchases in the library without restarting Poser.
- Logout: (Renderosity content only) Click to log out of your Renderosity account.

After the ZIP files are properly installed, the ZIP files will be removed from the Poser Downloads folders shown above. The installed content can be found in the Poser 13 Content, Purchases, or Included folders in your Poser 13 Content Library.
- If the ZIP files contain content that does not install into a typical library hierarchy location (such as templates or other content that does not fall into standard library folders), Poser will inform you that the zip files were unable to automatically install the content. The ZIP files will remain in the Poser Downloads folders mentioned in the preceding step. Click the Manually Install button and follow the steps to install the content in the location that you specify.
