Actually I like the idea of a lite product, both if it is cheaper and no hassle with dealing with license keys... I am using Poser (and Daz) only for creating still images for my comic book, so longer animation isn't needed (although I do hope 5 sec is enough time to let an item pose properly the way I wish for my final render... my characters have capes that I may need to have billowing in the wind or fly back as they are engaged in a simulated fight with another enemy character...)

Anyway, the Canadian dollar currently is about 27% lower than the US dollar, so having a cheaper version helps out because I don't think I could afford the full $65US right now (unless my comic is finished and sells really well). That is around $83Canadian for me, quite expensive. The lite version pricing means that the cost would be around $50Canadian... still a bit high but that is easier for me to save up for.

@VirtualWorldDynamics: I still cannot believe the Poser team does not jump on your tool! Unless they have their own secret plans for a new cloth system, this tool seems to be the perfect solution for their outdated cloth room. No one wants to wait another 2 years for them to upgrade their cloth sim system.
