Subject: Getting new PC, how to remove licence from old PC to use on new PC ?


zananeichan ( ) posted Wed, 20 July 2022 at 4:02 PM · edited Sat, 01 February 2025 at 2:27 AM

I am planning to get a new PC, I have poser 11 installed on MacBook(where I I do most of the scene design), iMac and PC(for final rendering). PC is getting old, and I may be getting a new PC. How  and where do I remove the poser 11 licence off old PC and add to new PC when I uninstall poser on old PC and then install on new PC ?

Thank you, many kind regards

All you need is the serial number to use the first time you launch Poser.

I recall there was a way to de-register the Licence, so that you release the seat.  I am sorry I cannot recall the Poser 11 menu item but it is safer to do this if switching to a different hardware.

Was that after Bondware took over, though? SmithMicro had a license manager for these things, but I don't Bondware does it that way.

If I'm not wrong, we all have a kind of dedicated counter for the number of installations. If you uninstall Poser from your old PC, it should update this correctly.
In any case, I think that the support should be able to help you.

The Smith Micro versions had a deregister option.  That has been removed from what I see.  IIRC you can install on up to 3 machines, and as long as a suitable period of time has passed and a machine has not sent I am here message back then you can install on another machine.  Just don't install in a small time frame such as one today another tomorrow and the third the day after that and you should be good.

You can contact jennblake the way you would any other Renderosity member. Send her a sitemail.

But unlike any other Renderosity member, she has the power to fix your problem.

Where would I go on this site to send her a site mail ? Never done it before, and this website has changed design since when I last used it in the early 2000s

Thank you. I have sent in a ticket , but haven't got a response yet.
