DS3: Well, maybe they should. Do they (or you) honestly expect me to buy 3 or more licenses for the software?? I have After Effects Prod. Bundle and it uses a dongle, but it is only a problem if I'm using a Prod. Bundle feature. I have tons of other software and don't run into this problem, and I doubt it has anything to do with my network runnning through a Linksys Cable/DSL router. I do have one program, InfoSelect, which (annoyingly) does this check, but I bypass it by unplugging the network from my laptop while it loads then plug it back in. But it's a real pain in the neck to unplug the network from the desktop computers, which is more likely the scenario with Poser. I'm glad every software company does not implement these idiodic schemes ... my word they're paranoid!! Heaven forbid someone (like me) wants to have absolute redundancy on another HOME system! -Tim -Tim
