That's interesting. I had a problem with my laptop's fan, it had Poser 11 on it. It was off, battery drained, and disconnected from the internet for at least 2 weeks. Might have been closer to a month. Anyway, the machine was under warranty. Sent it in and had it repaired, did not wipe the drive. Got it back and turned it on and started Poser, did not require reactivation, started right up.

?

As I understand it...it doesn't require reactivation. As soon as it can call home again, it's fine. (If you didn't connect it to the Internet, perhaps the person who repaired it did.)

The problem is if someone wants to use Poser without an Internet connection. Some examples given by people here at Rosity: you don't want your main computer connected to the web, for security reasons. You're in the military and are regularly stationed somewhere without regular Internet access. You're living full time in an RV, and spend long periods "off the grid."
