You know, I read the last 3 or 4 pages of this thread and the first 4 or 5 pages and I read so much conflicting information, I had no idea what the protection was [re. the software]. So HOW are people buying this software as Renderosity in their short-sightedness have yet to support VWD in the store? I can see why Hivewire exists; too much politics and narrow-mindedness both here and at DAZ 3D. But I digress............. When I first tried VWD with the loincloth, I got a result back in Poser (not the one I wanted, but there was a result); is there some sort of number of tries or number of days where it works fully before this limitation occurs? I just really want to see this work once before shelling out so much money. I'm not saying it's not worth it, I just need to see I can use it properly (disability pension doesn't go that far and family & friends already get me too much digital art stuff - lucky for me)....... BTW, If you know; is the limitation still that it only works on one hard drive? I'd hate that to be the protection used; hard drives aren't really all that reliable nowadays...... Anyway, I think I'll have to trawl through this thread a bit more and find Gerald's contact info and bite the bullet..................
