I was wondering if anyone has tried to run 2 instances of Poser.It woud be ice to be able to do that I can do it in max I tried to do it with 2 instances of poser 4 and it wouldnt let me. Something about only one license.im running ppro now i have p5 would that do the same thing .They are different serials. I dont really want to install it if it wont work.

No you cannot run two instances of poser(such as two poser4 or two poser5) at the same time on a single license. however I believe you can run poser4 and poser5 at the same time someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You might as well PAY attention, because you can't afford FREE speech

If you're using two different serial numbers (as in you owned Poser 4 and then bought the full version of Poser 5 for some reason) then you shouldn't have a problem running those together. Otherwise you won't be able to run two copies of the same license (same serial number) at the same time. Frank

I have Poser 4 and Poser 5 both on my PC and it won't let me run them both....if I have 5 open and click on 4 it won't open instead it goes to the 5 window and does the same vice versa....it's a real aggravation.

It's very annoying, but with the amount of software piracy that goes on, I suppose it's understandable. Mind you, if I tried to open another instance of Poser while one copy was rendering, my whole machine would probably lock up anyway, LOL

Actually under windows 2000 using terminal server you can actually run two copies. I run a render in the background while doing other things.

Atually i have 2 machines i know the other will load up but it seems to do a network check...

It does do a network check. That is why there was a problem with firewalls which didn't let Poser do the check. It is discussed in the technical support section of Curious Labs website.

Hrrrrrmmmmm... I'm running Poser4.02 on my C: and Poser4PP on my D: no problems.. though I dont try to run both at the same time.... in fact the majority of the textures I have are on the D:.... then there's the Pz3's on the E: shrug can't say anything about anything later than those... Good luck

Yes but thats not running both at the same time...

on xppro - poser.exe is a one instance only which is why when you have p5 open and then click on PPP/P4 it goes to the p5 and visa versa. However, if on a network - other machine can be running PPP/P4 on one machine for posing and P5 (for render lets say).

I'm using Win ME and not on a network....it's aggravating..
