If I recall, Poser 11.1 won't work because it has the phone home feature that wants to connect to smithmicro's server which no longer exists.

I think we should get the last version of Poser 11.1 back! 11.2 doesn't work correctly.

there are few ways to get poser 11.1 back ... first would be to ask SM kindly to send you the offline activator or a infinite licenced Poser version. SM had the Offline activator running for a while until Renderosity noticed it and made sure they take it down ! After contacting some Professors on the DukeLaw University it was said that something could be done against it . But if you are not a American Citizen it would be rather hard and also due the Corona these years Possibilities are Limited.

the second option if it fails with Diplomatic solutions you just get a " Core " offline activator that works with your Legal Purchased Licence key reactivating Poser. In case that you get another forced shutdown the Host causing it can be traced :) but I doubt that it would happen!

either way as you Purchased a Licence at the time at SM there is not legal rights to make a forced shutdown , stopping support is not an excuse also it is not a excuse that SM sold your Licence and Information to Bondware so Bondware has no legal rights shutting down what you Purchased at Smith Micro. Would Bondware shut down your SM Poser version then it would be considered as a Hacker attempt. So again I doubt that they take such a risk ! Bondware tries to save Poser and does not want to hit further nails into that coffin.
