Well, I've tried Download Manager--by downloading first, finding the path to where the download went (on my internet PC), then copying those files (updates) to a flash drive, (and also a copy of Download Manager), and transferring all to my PC that has Poser 11 on it--I thought I could put the updates in a correct folder there and install the D.L.M. on that computer, thereby hitting Install to bring them into Poser. But, after I put the files in the correct folder under 'User', and then entered my serial #, I got "Could not resolve host:www.producturlsupport.com"...so I guess since that other PC isn't connected to the internet, I can't complete this?

I'm not a new Poser user, in general, but I am a new Poser 11 user, and things have changed since I installed Poser 9. M

You are right, things have changed since Poser 9, well since Game Dev really which was a sort of upgrade to Poser 2014. What we were not told at the time was SM had added a deactivation feature which deactivated Poser if it had not phoned home in the last 90 days. This was only found after, guess what, 90 days.

There have been changes since then which should make Poser 11 an improvement in this respect, certainly more reliable than Game Dev. Unfortunately I cannot help as, having purchased Game Dev, I reverted to poser 2014 that did not have the feature and I have no plans to upgrade to Poser 11.

Someone should be able to help you though and, once sorted Poser 11 seems to be well loved by it's users, sadly you are not alone on the activation problem though, but it should be worth climbing the hurdle.

 

 

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.
