I see, thanks.  But the periodic activation idea bugs me, because I've always kept the old computer offline. 
So I either accept, or don't use Poser any more.
Maybe I'll go over to Daz instead, but then, just recalled, they're no different.  I think their lighting/renderer
is superior (Unless Poser has finally gotten there).  But I think their figures aren't as adjustable, morph wise,
with small adjustments to prevent the usual completely symmetrical "doll face" one often see in images
made with it, like Poser can.  I've never liked Poser's figures, and had been using Victoria, mainly.
Oh well, there may be a solution yet...

Or just spring for Poser 13; which, probably would need a more up to date computer.
