Wgreenlee1, you'd be surprised how many companies have multiple copies of MS Office installed and only one copy paid for. Add in the people who take the CD home and put a copy on their own machines as well. I used to work for a federal government entity and I can tell you that even they didn't always have a license for every installed copy. None of this is officially condoned (in most cases) of course, but it happens. EricofSD, CL has said that they will implement a solution in the unfortunate circumstance that they suddenly go tits up. Likewise, if you still want to run Poser 5 when Poser 7 is out, I'm sure they'd say they'll take care of you. In both instances, you have to trust them. It all boils down to that. If you don't trust them, if you think they're going to screw you, them why would you want to buy their product in the first place? If you're a professional whe 'has' to have Poser to make a living, it's a tough choice. For the rest of us, there's always real paper dolls instead of digital ones, and no one has died from Poser withdrawal yet.
