Thank you for responding, Jimmy. Yes. it is Poser Pro 2012, which I purchased from Smith Micro just before they sold Poser to Bondware/Renderosity. It was activated, did not require an internet connection, and worked fine. Then, Renderosity offered users of Poser Pro 2012 the opportunity to upgrade to the first version of their Poser 12, which offered Superfly and other enhancements, for free. OK, I thought, sounds like a good deal. I downloaded and installed the upgrade and it was working just fine, with all the features, and access to my existing content folders. Until I became ill and failed to routinely fire up and use the workstation it was installed on. When I did get around to doing so just recently, my installation of Poser 12, which had been working fine, had reverted back to Poser Pro 2012, which would have been fine if it had remained activated, but it wasn't - it needed to reactivate using the Smith Micro servers, which no longer were available. In short, I lost my application because of Bondware's DRM activation system. If I had not upgraded to Poser 12, I would still happily be using my perpetually licensed Poser Pro 2012. The issue had nothing to do with Flash, or Python. It was Poser 12's DRM.
