Try again....

I operate Poser 2014 Pro Game Developer on a stand-alone machine. If we did it right (we'll know in six months), in theory I have a 'permanent' license from SM that doesn't ever have to go out to the web to be updated (there's a whole thread devoted to this saga, with thanks to Jen B and John Csaky). I also own a physical version of Poser 11 pro that I never installed.

1. If I want to install Poser 11.2 now, does it wipe out my Poser Pro Game Developer 2014, which is working perfectly and which I really like? Or can I have the New Poser 11.2 along with my Poser 2014 Pro Game Developer? I believe I have a permanent license for PPro2014GD.

2. Will the new Poser 11.2 operate on my firewalled machine or does it require periodic check-in?

Poser 11 will overwrite your current poser since it is an update, and not an upgrade ( which is a new version number, ) in the case of PP10GD it is an upgrade, but a forced one due to the licence server for SM no longer existing, if you ever have an issue with your game dev, and need to reinstall it, it is possible that it may not work. Permanent licence or not. In order to preserve your game dev version, you will need to change to folder name and backup your preferences before installing p11 on the same machine. And P11.2 does not require a periodic check-in so it will happily run on your firewalled machine.
