Both computers run on Windows 7. I thought that it might be a store or product issue...maybe the product links time out after a while?
The issue is old software running in a newer OS. P7 uses an internal library, and Windows' UAC security feature resists write operations to anything in program files, so you can't save stuff to the library. Look in C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram FilesSmith MicroPoser and manually transfer any misplaced goodies to your new P7 installation.
Shutting off UAC is not a good idea, as UAC is a line of defense against malware (which often attacks by overwriting one of your legitimate programs).
For older apps on a Vista+ computer, I create an ExtProgFiles folder, and that's where I have Poser 5 installed, as well as PhotoImpact X3 and GIF Animator 5. Anything which has a read/write library within the same folder as the program itself gets installed to ExtProgFiles. All later programs, which have their libraries in documents get installed to the regular program files so that they are protected by UAC.
