Hello, Don't know how to fix this but we had a thunderstorm and I shut down my system to keep it safe. When the storm had passed I started it up again. The thing is the internet was down still. A dialogue box came up saying could not start because lease could not be verified. So, does that mean I don't own the software? I thought I'd bought it. Anyhow when the inter was back up it worked. I've still got all the disks and CD's from Poser 1 to 7, I skipped updating for a while because of a new job. Is there no way to use Poser 11 without Internet? We get a lot of storms in the summer and in a rural county the power is always restored before the internet. Please Advise.
