They have taken a firm (albeit controversial) position on keeping the "phone home" feature.

This is what I wanted to find out about, it's the reason I started the thread, so do you have a link? That's really all that interests me at this point, cause as I said, I won't be purchasing software that requires a constant or repetitive internet connection. Such things have total disregard for people with little to no internet connectivity, and does not respect those who understandably refuse to connect their graphics work computer to the internet, for any reason.

The solution for non-connected computer users, is to have the software generate a hardware code that you send to Bondware, which in turn generates an activation code for you. You then paste that activation code into your non-connected software and it is activated. Bondware would be the only entity that knows who owns a Poser12 licence, therefore, since they have the power to refuse multiple activations without deactivation, there's no reason Poser should need a permanent internet connection.

Like I said from the very first post, that's really all I wanted to know at this point, Blender is always there for me (and everyone else).
