Kerya I think EClark is referring to the recently locked thread about using 11.2 offline. I know this is going to sound like a rant but that thread got fairly ugly - its worth considering "phone home" is a form of DRM. DRM is widespread in music, film and software. Bondware did not invent it, nor did they add it to Poser. It's been in Poser for 4/5 years but because SM turned off their licensing servers its become an issue now.

It's BEEN an issue since they first introduced it with GAME DEV. I didn't upgrade to Game Dev, I kept 2014, so it didn't affect me. It wasn't a selling point in Poser 11, when I bought it, so I didn't know about it until well after.
