You can buy a legal copy of Poser 4 over at 3dcommune for $179 (it's a special deal) and you'll get the manuals, content CD, and tech support... as well as the friendship and help of the Poser online communities. We number at least 85,000 people and have settled in a half-dozen Forums where we do our best to help, support, and inspire each other. However, we do not tolerate warez, even if inadvertant. I seem to remember a special combo offer at CuriousLabs for both Poser and the ProPack together. A short while ago, there was also something where if you had Poser3 (given away free on various magazines) you could upgrade to 4 for about a hundred dollars... and get a nice shiny legal serial number of your own. I believe that DAZ may have something where it you buy it through them, you can get vouchers good on their models. (It would be full price, but their models are good.) The developers at CuriousLabs really hate pirates, but they are not ogres (at least not after they've had their coffee), and the fault really lies in your friend for giving what he was not legally free to give, no matter how well intentioned. (And, after this embarrassment, I doubt if you are going to be sharing your copy around.) I would suggest emailing CuriousLabs and explaining the situation to them. They may ask you to delete your copy, or they may recommend another way to buy a full legal version other than what I've mentioned above... but that is their decision to make. Hanging you by your ankles in the 12th level dungeon (the one with the rats) isn't going to help anybody. However, we cannot help you until your ownership of the program is legal. Carolly
