Thanks, Male_M3dia, on the permanent activation score. I guess I'll have to wait. My Game Developer for PPro2014 is going to be killed again shortly and I'm going to have to go through the rig-a-ma-roll to keep it going. I only want to go through that once with PPro11. And I want a good look ahead on what is in store for me with the Libraries situation.

I try to buy the physical versions because (a) I don't have to download and port over and (b) because If I get attached to a software (a stable version and stable machine that it runs on efficiently), or if the company management changes (Mirye Shade) I can pull out a labeled box along with its archived SRs in the event of an HD crash and restore it cleanly. Many times companies can go years without making a meaningful update for things I am interested in, unless I need to upgrade for professional reasons. In the case with Poser and multiple runtime libraries having a known means for backup that works with Poser files I have created is all the more important otherwise things get convoluted real quickly.

Also, Hard copy issues often come with some hardcopy documentation that I would otherwise have to archive or create. I just like having the pictures and the professional labeling. I'm a simpleton in that regard.

Any word on what level of Windows 7 is required?
