Poser phones home periodically, and if it's blocked for some reason, it will eventually stop working. This is supposedly an anti-piracy measure. I suspect they want you to have Poser connected to the web so they can sell you stuff from RMP through Poser.

A lot of people are very unhappy with this "feature." If you contact support, they may be able to extend the period between check-ins, but so far as I know, there is no longer any way to suspend this license check.

Thanks for warning me about this.

I think the same is now true of Poser 11. Something to keep in mind if you have an older version of Poser. Might want to keep it around, just in case, even if you upgrade.
