Guess I will for the fist time in two decades skip a Poser version, await the next release and see how things are changing. Until then there might be the option that this activation system will be removed, Sticking on older Poser versions and mainly on 11.1 SM version. there are to many Loss due the Pyton support and no Plan to get these back running, no reason is given to pay for a downgrade and such a strict surveillance system.

I remember it happening on Poser 8 I think when SM first had that Internet activation, then they had to remove it on a update as they had a loss of over 50% of customers. or was it Poser 9 do not remember !

So until Poser 13 comes out Bondware might of cached up fixing the loss and it be worth considering to buy that release. Hoping that Pyton coders will have interests creating new extensions and creators support the newly planed upgrades. Remember , most of the Loyal poser users are older generation that bring in most experience.

It does not mean if one is able to pull out Excalibur of the stone, that he will end up being a good King !
