Steve, I'd find soemthing like that totally acceptable (but the Warez people will go through hell, LOL) I think not only could this be used to better ensure the security of your software, and further ensure CL's survival, but wouldn't it be nice for you guys if you released a patch for a small area of Poser, say for example you come up with a small amount of code that adds ERC to the Setup Room or elsewhere in Poser, and you fully test it out and it works like a charm without causing any problems... People would be given the option as soon as they load up Poser as soemthing like this:

POSER UPDATER Poser Updater has detected an update for Poser available now. The Description of this update is: Version X.X.X- Enhanced Remote Control. Addition of Enhanced Remote Control to Setup Room. Premiliminary ERC "Cross-Talk" issues addressed.

• Transparent Reflections. Enhanced useage of Transparency and Reflections/Highlights. Allows users to better specify Highlights to be applied only visible areas of Texture and be ignored in fully Transparent areas
• Miscellaneous. Code stability issues addressed.

Would you like to Download this Update now or when Closing Poser?

Personally, I'd LOVE to see this, and I'm sure it would be very helpful to all users, and to the programmers.
