Thanks for the explaination BB.

To be honest, for some reason, I was thinking Poser Pro (current or 2010) required a 64 bit OS because of the renderer, didn't think that it would revert to a 32 bit version if installed on a 32 bit OS.

I currently use a 32 bit Laptop with P8 and was going to just get PP and the free PP2010 upgrade and leave it until I build my next main machine and install the copy of Win7 64bit that has been sitting on the shelf since October on it...

Guess I can give PP and 2010 a spin in the meantime after all...

Couple of questions. I understand PP allows network rendering, do all the clients have to be the same, i.e. all 64 bit (is there a 32 bit network renderer?) or can they be mixed? E.g. when I have my next machine built and running, can I use the network renderer function between it (64 bit) and my current laptop build (32 bit)...? Is the network rendering limited by licence numbers? I.e. Would I require additional licences to run the network rendering function?
