Well, Smith-Micro no longer lists Poser as one of their products, so that is news to me. As for Poser Pro 12, I couldn't find a single mention of it from any legitimate source. So I would definitely not buy it from Amazon. Poser Pro 11 is, to my knowledge, the last version of Poser. If there is a 12 in the works, I would think it would non-stop chatter around here. If you want to upgrade from Poser 4, I would suggest Poser 7 is decent compromise.

That was the version I used until SM offered a $49 upgrade to Pro 11. I got the physical disk, but honestly, real life trauma has had me owning it for a few years without ever installing it.

Depending on how powerful your computer is, you might want to make a VirtualBOX Windows XP machine, and just put your Poser 4 in there.
