I don't think I will be upgrading now either... Here's why: I purchased Zbrush and they implemented a similar "security" scheme. I haven't even bothered to reinstall it on my computers after having to reformat all 3...it's just not worth the hassel to me... I am ill and need a computer in the bedroom for days when I can't get out of bed. I also have a laptop that I use outside in the summer and my main one in the office for good days... I just don't have the energy to be trying to keep the computers working properly and have to do these re-registration things when they screw up... Think I'll just continue with Poser 4...thanks anyway... Don't mean to sound cantankerous but I'm having one of my bad health days... Dawn
