@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 !

@Gate - It's an open forum. Sometimes it's the wild west. The mods let a lot of things go. I am not a mod.

I don't have to let anything go.

First, I've known and dealt with Jenn and Boni for years. Jenn and Renderosity have never let me down. If anyone has earned my trust, they have. They aren't politicians. They are people like you and me. They do their best and for you to say "People are getting sick of these terms turning out to be lies is just wrong." It's like calling them liars and that is just wrong too. Renderosity has owned Poser for FOUR months and a day. They have a lot to turn around and the last thing I would do is reveal everything because people would second guess, backseat drive or however you want to put it. Just like you are doing now. You want more features, start a thread and state them. That's fair. I will guess and say English isn't your first language so perhaps it's coming out wrong but you need to be fair.

Second, you have no idea what people use Poser for. Some use it as a basis for comics, some use it in advertising, others for animation, others want to create models and see them come to life. For some, it's their bread and butter Don't lump us together. The only thing you can be certain of is that we all use Poser and are passionate about it. I've read your posts, you seem pretty intelligent. But you know Jenn is right is stating that nothing is 100%. Ask RDNA, Poserworld Poser Pro's (The original) or DAZ. You've been using Poser long enough to remember when Poser was Daz's business. It's not like that anymore. With any luck and a little love, Poser and Rendo should be around longer than you and me. If that's not enough, consider this.

I don't think Renderosity bought Poser with the intention of seeing it fail. Give them a chance. I am. And I am in the same exact boat you are.

As I said I trust Jenn, Boni and the rest of the Rendo Staff to do their best.
