If you read the Statements about Internet activation in Poser from Smith micro you would see that there is much more behind all this. They left officially the option that you choose your self if they can get information about your Habits and Hard software you use. I believe that this option has already been removed from Bondware as Poser needs to be connected. also there is no Offline activation as an option.The store gets integrated into the software.

Collecting Private information has to be stated clearly in the Info once you buy the software I recall that allot of Information Bondware is giving are miss leading and are very unprofessional. Actually you do not really get any Information like a Professional serious software distributor gives out . One Page will tell you that you can activate Offline the other say's you need Internet so how could the customer know.

" we will be collecting anonymous data help our team identify features in Poser that are frequently used. It also will give us a very basic snapshot of the hardware you are running on. That data will also tell us about crashes to help us improve Poser’s reliability."

"Each license you’ve purchased can be activated a maximum of 3 unique times. You can manually deactivate the license on one system to transfer it to a new system without using up one of your 3 activations. If you need to reactivate beyond 3 unique times for hardware related reasons, contact our tech support team for their assistance."

If you need such Information like mentioned above can anyone tell me where to find them at Renderosity that would be clear when purchasing the software? the other thing is Did Smith Micro hand out these information to Bondware when they made the Trans-fair !?

The other Issue is that actually it is not in any concern for Bondware as we found that it is stated that Smith micro can not just deactivate sold Licences and sell these to another one they guarantee the activation of Poser 11.1 and Game Dew the only reason for the call home is to Prevent Piracy and not intended to shut down a sold Poser Version. But well as we can see it happen and this has been abused by sending the notification that you have to update to bond-ware else Poser will stopp working.

The next question is ... wo did send this Notification ? Was it Bondware or was it Smith Micro ? It was Bondware ! Smith micro knew if they would send out this notification that they could get into Trouble breaking there contracts. so they left it u to Bondware just in case that it would cause issues in the near future.
