Re the Flash issue, yes, I tried that. Nothing changes - the new version is not recognized by Pose. I am running El Capitan (10.11.6) at this point (after changing from some earlier version so that I could install the latest version of Flash for Poser). Catalina is 10.15 and I have never had it installed. I am resigned to buying a later version of Poser at this point.

Please explain the comment about it phoning home every 9 days or it stops working. As far as I know, this was not the case with any prior version of Poser (i.e. 5 and 9). Why would SM or Bondware incorporate such a feature?

Lastly, if I do the upgrade, doesn't that just get me to Smith Simth Microsystems Poser 11.0, which will not work unless I do the upgrade to Bondware's Poser 11.2?
