No JKeller... according to the article above... if it can't go out to the internet and verify something... it gives you a limited version. WHAT THE HELL?! So now I can't use Poser on my laptop?! I'd rather deal with a hardware dongle I can stick on my laptop's parallel or serial port. MUCH easier. PLUS... I use Poser on 2 seperate machines.... but I'm doing it by moving the hard drive from one machine to the other using a removeable hard drive bay. What happens now? It is "coded" for one machine... but not the other?! Bullsht. Oh well... Poser was nice while it lasted.... This is one of those cases where greed will get the best of them. They aren't Lightwave, 3DMAX or Autocad... high powered applications used by movie and multimedia professionals... Poser is probably 80% amateur/casual users. They're going to cut their own throats. Oh well... believe what you want. I will not buy the next version if they try and pull sht like this. And I'm sure there are quite a few other people who won't either.
