Great topic

RE: heads up -

The DLM will indeed let you pick where you want the installers to be stored. I run an SSD too, and don't store them on my main C drive.

Once you've downloaded the installers, you can move them onto any other machine or let the DLM run the installation for you. If you want to manually run the Poser installer, just simply be sure all the installers are in the same folder, then run the application installer.

The SRs are as equally tested as the main app, and we actually have more leeway with timelines for the SRs than we do with a new full version. That said, features do sometimes get broken when fixing something else, and that can get missed by the internal QA team and external beta. But it gets addressed in the next SR, and if it's impactful to lots of people, we'll do a .1 version of the SR. Each subsequent Service Release gets better, adds stability, fixes issues, and sometimes roll out new features.

For reference we are working on an SR4 now. Poser 10 and Pro 2014 will be with us for a while, so we're keeping the SRs moving forward.

Attached is a screen cap of the updated version of the Download Manager soon to be released. There's a new tab in the DLM that will show just the Updates. Whatever serial number you enter will show updates for that version. I'm running a beta serial, so I get the full beta installers. Enter a german serial, and you'll get just German, Poser 10 serials reveal Poser 10 installers...
