Is it possible to offline install, activate Poser 12? I have now downloaded and installed the Program but after starting it simply shows a Window Internet Connection cannot be found. I'm working on an offline PC.

You could try contacting support, but I think the answer is "no." Poser 12 is designed to phone home periodically, and will eventually stop working if it can't.

Yes Poser by Bondware has no offline activation, weather 11.3 nor 12. Bondware removed this feature from Smith micro. Bondware Poser needs a constant Internet connection at least every 7th day to be reactivated, if you work on a offline computer for security reasons , I mean avoiding any Internet connection for privacy reasons on a business computer then you will have to try to get a hand on a older Poser version and skip the Bondware version, until they remove this stupid kill switch feature! But I doubt they will, they rather let Poser Die before it would happen :)

I know that people in the past did contact support regarding offline activation for security reasons. SO it does exist and I'm sure if you have a good reason they can work with you. Instead of offering negativity, let's try to help with suggestions that we know worked.

Unfortunately, this is a good reason to not buy Poser any more. How sad.

IF WE go offline for weeks or even months, then we lose Poser. This ensures that I have now bought my last version of Poser. That is just plain BAD.
