Poser Pro 11 delivery due today. Saying I should hold off with installation???

It is a personal choice. If your Poser PC is connected to the Internet your copy may never be deactivated. Nerd3D has stated there is a system in place should SM go bust so that you can continue to use Poser Game Dev and Poser 11. If you are not connected to the Internet it will deactivate and you will have to run the manual process, I suspect twice a year. Again Nerd3D has stated there will be an activation portal opened to make things easier, it is just it does not exist at present but then it should not be needed for 180 days.

Personally I have never liked the deactivation process and, if I had known it was in Gave Dev I would not have purchased the upgrade. Happily I can revert to Poser 2014 that does not have this vile procedure. Those the purchased Game Dev outright do not have that opportunity.

I was already prepared to stick with Poser 2014 but as I have been underwhelmed with Poser 11 and it's apparent rushed release, it really is not a problem for me.

 

 

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.
