Sorry to hear that.

I think it is quite likely that DAZ are trying to end support of legacy DAZ models (V4/M4, DSON-compatible newer models, and using DIM to install these) in Poser while Bondware are also making it more difficult to use these legacy DAZ products in Poser 11.2 and beyond.

It angers me that Bondware FORCED Poser users to upgrade to 11.2 or lose the licensing to use it anymore. Seems like an illegal move to me. If they pull one more move like that they will lose me as a customer and it is Renderosity who will suffer through lost future sales. It is sad that the best, supposedly photo-realistic, natively-supported Poser model Bondware can muster is La Femme Pro, while a 15 year old DAZ V4/M4 model look more realistic in every way. While La Femme has easier to manipulate facial expressions compared with V4, her neck, shoulders, hips, hands, feet -- and skin textures -- lack realism. She is best for modeling clothing that hide these shortcomings.

Bondware forced nothing, Smith Micro forced the upgrade by shutting down their licence server. You are free to go back to Smith Micro's version of poser 11, however, since the licence server no longer exists, it will not work.
