So this thread sent me to the CL web site in search of the EULA, the horse's mouth. Of course, I couldn't find it -- if it is there it is well hidden. But there is a large faq about the registration process and if I read it correctly it says you can only install Poser 5 three times IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE and after that you need special dispensation from their service department. It does not mention what you should do if that service department becomes extinct. BTW, in my browsing I also found that once you buy Poser you are stuck with it, assuming that you are an honest person and you adhere to the EULA you agreed to. Seems that the EULA prohibits you from ever selling your copy to someone else (or even giving it away, apparently). CL is agressive about enforcing it and if you try to sell it through an on-line auction site they will have your offer removed. Let me hasten to add that this is not something I experienced, just something I read on CL's web site -- I think I'll be happy playing with P4 at least until P5 SP1 arrives...
