It doesn't bother me.

The present situation doesn't bother a lot of users but there are other who have clearly stated why it is an issue for them.  What is also not clear is what would happen to working copies if SM went bust or sold Poser on.  As it presently stands all the latest versions of Poser would become unusable over a six month period unless a permanent serial number was issued first. Of course if you never use Poser, or have a pirated copy, all of this is not going to bother you one bit. 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
