The same exact information appears in the Poser Pro Game Dev and Poser 11 EULA, for the record:
As follows:
Activation of the Software is REQUIRED in order to use the Software. Additionally, periodic reactivation of the Software may occur. You must have a valid serial number in order to complete the activation process of the Software. Upon your first installation of the Software, you will be prompted to activate the Software, and the Software will attempt to automatically connect to the Internet. Please be sure you have an Internet connection when initially installing the Software in order to activate the Software. The Software includes instructions regarding activation if you are not connected to (or unable to connect to) the Internet when attempting to complete the activation process of the Software. To complete the initial activation process, you will need to provide your name, valid e-mail address and applicable valid serial number for activating the Software.
As part of the initial activation process you will have the option to "opt-in" to receive product announcements and offers from SMSI. In addition, as part of the initial activation process, you will have the option to "opt-in" to participate in SMSI's efforts to improve the usability, experience, functionality and performance of its products and services. Your participation to allow SMSI to collect such usage statistics is voluntary. And, you may"opt out" at any time. If you choose to participate, SMSI may collect and use certain information related to the Software and your use of the Software that include information about: (i) your computer, such as Operation System, screen resolution, RAM capacity, CPU frequency, number of monitors; (ii) data about the Software, such as abnormal terminations, number of runs, program version; and (iii) information about separate feature usage, such as menu options or buttons selected. The information described in (i) - (iii) above will be combined and utilized in an anonymous manner to help SMSI's efforts as noted above. If you are not comfortable sharing the foregoing described information, please choose not to participate.
SMSI is very concerned with the privacy and security of the information end users provide as part of the registration, activation and opt-in processes described above. Any information collected described above is done and utilized in accordance with SMSI's Privacy Policy. Your election to use the Software indicates your acceptance of the terms of the SMSI Privacy Policy, so please review the policy carefully and check our website at the following URL to review updates: http://www.smithmicro.com/. Further, if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), your use of the Software constitutes consent by you to SMSI's and/or its affiliates to the transfer of such information to a location outside the EEA:
The EULA displays during installation and in the manuals. If you still have the SMSI version of Game Dev or Poser 11 or 11.1 installed you will find the exact same EULA text in the Installing Poser section of the manual, and it also appears in a window when you are installing Poser. This isn't a big brother conspiracy, please don't turn it into one.
