Quote - I have just purchased and I am downloading via the smith micro download manager...HOWEVER the machine that I use to download software / content IS NOT the same machine on which I install said software or content..

My main workstation has no internet connection...so the question is, how do I go about installing this Version of Poser Pro 2014, as from what I can see the installation method is now all managed by the download manager, not via Zip files like it used to be..

 I was expecting to be able to transfer the Zip files to my workstation for installation.

Am I stuffed.??

Any guidance would be appreciated.

 

The Download Manager just downloads and stores the 9 files, 5.3 GB. It also offers to do the installation, but you can as well copy the downloaded files to your other computer and install manually.

Unfortunately I don't recall about registration, whether or not internet connectivity was required for PP2014.

Once upon a time I also had a constellation, where I refused to put my 3D-Computer on internet, for fear of viruses. But I reallized, that frequent updates of all my 3D softwares definately required internet connectivity for that computer. I'm nowadays running Poser  PRO 2012 and 2014, Bryce, DAZ Studio, Hexagon, Lightwave3D, Blender, Wings3D, Carrara Pro 8.5, X-Frog 3.5, UV-Mapper Pro, Blacksmith3D Pro 5, Lux-Render and Reality3, Paintshop and Photoshop, PoserFileOrganizer, PzDB (content database), another 10 or 12 utility programs, and updating them from another computer through internal transfer would be a major headache or even impossible at all.

 

So, if you plan to go ahead and use more tools, you should get used to at least plug the internet from time to time to perform all the updates, which are usually severely improving functionallities.
