@quietrob. the computer has to be on the internet to reach the bondware server just to install/register. Then we do the extended license. Just the one time until that expires..then it would need to get on the net once more..update the registration and then we would extend it again.

@DreaminGirl - the sale is only affecting Poser 11, Poser Pro 11 and Poser Pro 2014 Game Dev version (only) and nothing is "folding up" as we created a new server to continue to service those versions. I can tell you we have NO intentions of selling or not supporting the software for a very long time. Nothing is ever 100%. BUT we are putting lots of DEV power behind working on it and creating the next version AND more figures coming. So there's no reason to not continue Poser. We are completely devoted to continuing it for a long time.

This is not at all convincing " A collector thinks in long terms " He wants to be certain that he can keep what he has collected until he is buried under the earth. So you might have to convince him that it will , and for sure that he does not depend on you ! You say that you plan to support the software for a very long time , but well nothing is 100%! This is not in long terms! As you only Plan , believe me this way you will never convince a Investor LOL.

To convince the Collector you would have to say " Even if we are down or do not support Poser any longer you will be able to use it with your whole collection " as long as the Program works on your Win or mac version .. this would throw the Ball to Win or Mac. But you will ensure the Customer that he doesn't not have to fear any Loss !

Your activation is case sensible at this Point and you do not seem to do your best to either convince or ensure the customer " Politicians also use these words all the time " We Plan and we will give more and People are getting sick of these terms turning out to be Lies !
