I'm with consumer573 on this, I had Poser 2014 pro GD upgrade but went back to using Poser pro 2014 after GD kept intermittently wanting to activate. Due to having a few priceless Netherworks - Shaderworks scripts that really dont play very well under Poser Pro 2011, I've a bit of longwinded workflow going from poser pro 12 to 14 to Pro11.
Last weekend my copy of Pro 14 stopped working, I uninstalled it - reinstalled it several times and it wouldn't get past the loading screen before quiting. Just as a tip to anyone reinstalling pro 14, after installing the main program, install SR3 it seem to fix the problem and took me to the activation screen. I can confirm Pro 2014 still registers and activates as of 25/09/19.
After being stung a couple of times by programs that have stopped working after companies have gone bust and pulled the plug on their online servers. I'm not so keen on programes that need permanent online connection that keeps needing to touch base before working. I understand that Rendo/ Bondware need to protect their IP, but after spending a considerable chunk of change on poser over the years, there's got to be a better way.
Sorry rant over 8-)
