I'm beggining to suspect the anti-piracy measures too. Although it's difficult to see how they could cause these problems, as has been pointed out we know they did in Poser 5.

I have observed some odd behaviour from Vue Pro that certainly IS down to the anti-piracy stuff. If I hibernate my machine, with Vue Pro running, when I resume I get a message that Vue "has detected another copy with the same serial running on the network" and naming the localhost as the "other" machine. So for sure it doesn't work perfectly, if it can't tell localhost from a remote machine!
