The Activation/Deactivation was introduced with the Game Dev version but there was some confusion recently when the SM web site stated that Game Dev and Poser 10/2014 needed and Internet connection for the 'Activation service'.  Since then Nerd 3D has confirmed the the Activation service is only applicable to Game Dev and the web site specs for Poser 10/2014 have been updated to reflect this.

As far as I remember the download manager will request your serial number but that is all and there should be no difficulty.

Chapter and verse can be seen at RDNA but as you are on Poser 10 there should be no need for concern.

Good Luck.

 

 

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.
