Something I have just thought about... which kinda worries me - having done some business law at university (lovely topic)... I have to ask - and maybe I'm wrong - but does it say anywhere in any agreement that you get from CuriousLabs upon buying Poser 5. That if they go bankrupt that they will provide a security override so that you can use their software without an activation serial number? Or has everyone taken CL at their word - which has only been posted on Renderosity? First rule of business - if it isn't in writing - it isn't legal (all the bullshit about code of honor is just that), and is usually bullshit to just 'please' the hungry mob. And anything that CL put on renderosity isn't classed as a legal contract in which binds CL to do what might have been said on CL. The licensed contract is what you read when you install the software, so look in there - does it have any claus explaining what happens in the case that Curious Labs goes under? If they have got it in writing in that contract that in the event that CuriousLabs goes bankrupt or they stop supporting Poser 5 they will supply each valid user of Poser 5 a method of being able to use their software without activation code, then I will stand corrected... If not - ask yourself this one question... do you feel lucky? Remember - to be legal in court - someone saying something on a forum in this website, isn't going to cut the mustard... WiNC
