I too would like some clarification. As a user with a valid licence to Poser Pro 201, the initial information seemed to indicate you had to purchase the update to the PoserPro 11 (followed by updade to 11.2) . The link to the upgrade refers to a requirement following 21 day trial to purchase the licence in order to continue using the updated version. However, the information I received after my purchase appeared to indicate I didn't have to pay for the upgrade.

From the link - Downloads - Poser 11.2

Thanks for your interest in Poser. You can download and evaluate the app at any time. The app includes a 21-day free trial period after which you will be prompted to purchase a license and receive your serial number. You will need this serial number to register and download the additional content included with Poser. Please protect your serial number. Usage of the serial number beyond the allowed number of seats or excessive content downloads may temporarily disable your ability to use the software.

The newsletter from Sept 16 2019 stated the following: If you do not update, your Poser may not work if you have a version above Poser 10 because the licensing system will not be able to complete the over-the-internet check needed to confirm your license key. If you want your Poser to continue to work properly, you must update.

In email received Sept 18, 2019 because I own PoserPro 2014, I was provided link https://www.renderosity.com//mod/bcs/poser-pro-11-upgrade-from-game-dev-pro-2014-pro-2012-and-pro-2010/112660 which is the product upgrade to Poser 11.

My question is: Did I need to purchase the upgrade?

Thanks

David
