I got the email Thursday, went and logged in, and no place to enter the code. I think I ended up going to my cart, and finding the order there, and entering the coupon code at the bottom, like a regular purchase. The order was incorrect, said upgrade from Pro 2010, not sidegrade from Poser 8. Not a problem anyway. You kind of have to jump through hoops from time to time with Smith Micro, but in the end it is worth it. Should have it all downloaded shortly. Slow speed is no doubt everyone wanting to be first, and in my case, living in a college town.
I got up at 5:00 am central time and the email was in my box. Everything worked flawlessly and started downloading within 5 minutes.
The connections seemed to be throttled back to around 5 Mbit per connection, but could keep 4 connections going at 4 Mbit fairly consistantly. Had it all downloaded within an hour, and had 2012 installed within 35 minutes.
I must have beat the rush.
BTW, if you have a 64 bit system, in preferences it will allow you to check embedded in the library settings. Don't do it, you'll get the dreaded "no flash" screen.
Got the e-mail from SM a few minutes ago and downloading now.
FYI for anyone who pre-ordered:
The links in the e-mail that went out this morning may not work. If they don't, try the following:
Copy/paste the store login and log in to your account.
Copy/paste the checkout link, click Proceed to Checkout, and apply your voucher code. At that point, the upgrade price for Poser should update to $0.00. Complete the checkout process, and happy downloading. :)
Also, the Checkout link is supposed to take you directly to your shopping cart and immediately prompt you to click Proceed to Checkout. If you recently visited SM's promo site, be sure to delete your browser cache before going to the checkout link. Otherwise, your browser will re-direct you to the promo site.
I had same problems as some about the code and urls not working put in a ticket turned out I was trying to get it too early. lol
No sooner had the reply come back I clicked the hotlink in the pdf coupon and all went great playing with Poser 9 now and it is excellent.

OK I can't find the PDF anywhere. I have the order confirmation which SEEMS to link to a pdf, only it says Stard Download at the link, and when I click that I get my Order whith the big fat red DOWNLOAD EXPIRED thing.
Which of course is nonsense.
Was the PDF an attached file or a download link in the order confirmation?
I bought that voucher a month ago.. And I want my Poser NOW!
I don't know if the link in the PDF is user-specific, but could someone please post it here so I can check?

Update: I found "todays" email in my spam folder and clicked the link in it. It worked. I did empty my cache first.
So I'm downloading now. Good thing I have the day off tomorrow too with that speed L (or lack thereof)
Oh well.. Hurry up, Poser.. I wanna see all the new things L

Cool glad to hear you found it nothing worse than it to go missing.
Well if my experiences with Poser 9 are nothing short of amazing. I have done a IDL and SSS render in half the time Poser 8 could do it.

I've been very much away from Poser for a long time. But a new version is sure to get me out from under my rock L
So hopefully this will pull me back into the 3D world. I've missed it, but just had ZERO inspiration. Hopefully all the new bells and whistles will at least keep me busy while I explore them L

Er... the preorder applied to everyone. The UPGRADE pricing applied to people who already owns Poser in some other iteration.
I'm not sure I understand your question? :)

Glad you got your download problems sorted TrekkieGrrrl. It's been a bit of a nightmare for me. Lost the biggest download (1GB) when it was almost finnished and had to start again. Tried to "resume" render, but that didn't work. Only another 3 hrs to go. Been on this ALL Bl##DY NIGHT! (@79.5KB/Sec). :-(

Yes I think the their servers got hammered early on as I was only getting about 5K/s tho about half hour later was at 150K/s. And yet I can do about 700K/s on a good day. :)

Well, I never got an email, besides the confirmation email. I've gone to Content Paradise and the Smith Micro store, at the SMicro store and at CP, it shows as purchased in my order history, but I have no idea where to find the code , it's not under coupons in my account...help.. I have a code from the confirmation email, but I dont know how to enter it, lol. Do I put PP2012 in my cart and check out?
I'm sooooo confused, lol
oh, if it matters I did order the physical version, I actually made the purchase through the SmithMicro store, not that seems to matter :{
Click on the link in your original voucher, that should take you to your cart, at the bottom of the check out page there will be a space to enter the voucher code that you just found, copy and paste it to there and apply it, and you should be good to go..
Injustice will be avenged.

Hi
I think a lot of the problem came from the fact that like me the download for the coupon didn't work.
Every time I clicked on the link to download the coupon it just took me to a page with a picture of the coupon but no way that I could see to download the PDF file.
No Download Here! or anything like that, and I didn't know how it was going to be used.
I tried several times to get it to download it with no luck.
So I just made a clip of the coupon on the screen and saved that.
Unfortunately that doesn't have any links in it.
I think for the people who did manage to download the coupon it worked the way it was supposed to.

If you shoot a mime, do you need a silencer?
OK, I'm back, I finally got to try what you suggested the fixer, I logged in, clicked the coupon, saw the item in my cart, but no place to put the voucher code. Do I have to go through the whole purchase process to find the place to put the code? It wanted all my cc info again, is that what it's suppose to do? I'm really getting frustrated at myself for not getting this done already.
I really appreciate your help, they should have given step by step instructions, maybe pictures, lol
Hi Cimaira
If you put in a ticket you will get an answer right away, at least I got mine in about 15 minutes.
They will send you an e-mail with a link.
The link will take you to your cart page, and it will show the purchase of the software and underneath that it will show that you have purchased the coupon.
All you have to do is copy your code, (which is also in the e-mail) into a box at the bottom and it will show a balance of 0.
Just hit checkout and it will add shipping if you are getting a hard copy or a link to the download if you are going to download it.
Once I put in the ticket I was all done in a half hour.
Mike
Where to put in a ticket...

In case you came in before I added it here is the link to the support page.

I'm confused. I preordered an upgrade to Poser Pro 2010 - namely PP2012 but.. well I can't get hold of it
It was today it's supposed to go live, right?
If I plonk it in my shopping basket at Smith Micro and apply the coupon code I got when I preordered the thing it tells med I'v eadded the coupon to something it isn't meant for (specifically it tells me "Required products not purchased"
And the price is wrong, too. I paid $149 for it. It's "on sale" now for $159... I somehow understood that the price would go up wioth more than a measly $10 today? Why would I pay a month in advance to save a mere 10? I could have gained interest on my money in the meantime.
Oh well.
The biggest issue is.. I can't GET my new Poser. Am I doin' it wrong? Has anyone successfully applied the preorder coucher code? If so, how and where?
