Yes it does.. but with some minor issues, such as the Icon in the Library not showing.. the Mouse over still works, so you can locate the Category if you do not remember the order by mousing over the Placeholders.

Activating Poser on Lion has its own issue, but once Activated, there should be no other issues.

The issue has to do with permission changes in the Mac OS. Here are the steps to activate the software after installing.

  1. BEFORE launching your freshly-installed copy of Poser (Debut, Poser 8 or Pro 2010), browse into the root Library/Application Support folder and create a folder for your copy of Poser- 'Poser', 'Poser Pro', or 'Poser Debut'. You'll need to provide an admin password to do this.

  2. Launch and serialize Poser normally- you won't be able to see the category icons in the library pane but the mouseover category names should work.

 

1a. If you have launched Poser and entered a serial number and are now seeing Poser crash on launch, the first thing to do is to open System Preferences, go to the General pane and turn off the 'launch to previous state' option.

2a. Now go create the 'Poser', 'Poser Pro' or 'Poser Debut' folder as described in (1) above

3a. Launch and serialize Poser

4a. Now if you like you can reactivate Lion's 'launch to previous state' option. 

Anyone that encounters other issues, please contact Support with details. Put Attn: John in the Subject along with Lion Issues.
