Thanks!
I finally "got" it that one could just find and hit the new Poser11 .exe file in the update, and install the program. Then I did the manual activation routine. It seems to work.

I installed it as a 64 bit program. I kept my preferences. It seems to have automatically installed my previous libraries--only, some few things are missing (I've only checked my "new figures folder" from Poser09, many of my figures are not there). Not sure why. Maybe if I uninstall/reinstall as a 32 bit program, then I should get everything inside the libraries of my other two earlier Poser installations. (?)

Well i am glad to see you have had some success, I was going to say that I could not see why the library was different between the 32 bit and 64 bit and then remembered the way they are implemented is different between the two versions.

I have all my runtimes on a separate drive going all the way back to Poser 6. On any new install all I do is run it for the first time and it will find the default poser library. From within the library I then point it to each of the separate runtimes.

On a slightly different note I am keen to continue to help you where I can, however, due to certain other factors I may be deprived the opportunity to do so. If I suddenly appear to abandon you please realise it was due to circumstances I have little control over.

 

 

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.
