Quote - I'm running Poser Pro 2010 and Poser Pro 2012 at the same time, no problem at all, that would be about the same as running 8 and Pro 2012 at the same time. I'd say Poser 8 and 2012 at the same time should work. I'm running Windows 7 64bit, perhaps the OS you run has something to do with it as well?

 

Ok I installed a copy of Poser Pro 2010 on the same laptop as the one with my Poser Pro 2012 and have managed to run the two of them simultaneously. However, there still seems to be problems of a different sort now.

If I work in PP 2012 and want to insert an element (eg a prop or figure) into the scene, it will not insert there but into the PP2010 scene instead. Conversely, if I want to insert something into the PP2010 scene it inserts it into the 2012 scene. It seems whichever one I had open first will become the primary Poser into which everything is inserted.

Why is there this connection between the two? I want the two to run independently of each other, otherwise it defeats the purpose of two running at the same time if I can't work in both.

Do you ever have this problem and if not, how have you managed to get round it?

Anyone else know why this is happening?
