1) You can't install your copy of Poser just on your own any longer - never again. Whenever this "protection" notifies a change, you are dependent on a contact with CuriousLabs. If this can't be established (because the server is down or you are without a connection), your use of Poser will be temporarily limited, and permanently cut off in the long term. Please God let this be a hoax or a joke. What happens if the user hasn't got internet access? Not everybody has!!!! Otherwise, Poser 5 etc can keep itself, all that silly paranoia because e.g. a few people buy a Poser and install it on two computers. Poser 4,0.3's nosing about the local net looking for duplicates was bad enough.
