Josh, Just to set the record straight, I wrote "...you can only install Poser 5 three times IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE and after that you need special dispensation from their service department." I did not make this up. Here is the relevant portion of the FAQ from CL's web site: "How many times can I contact Curious Labs for a new Response Code? We currently permit three unique Response Code keys to be generated for your serial number of Poser 5. In most normal circumstances our service department will allow additional keys to be generated. You will need to contact our service department for additional keys. What happens if I need more than the allowed number of registrations? If you applying for a fourth or greater new Response Code key, you will be informed that you have exceeded the maximum number of allowed installations. If you need additional Response Code keys you should send your request to our service department via email or fax. It will be helpful for you to describe your reasons for requesting additional Response Code keys. It is Curious Labs policy to permit our legitimate customers to use our products to their full potential. You may be asked to confirm your registration information to confirm your identity." --- Also, I think, given the choice between the current protection scheme & a dongle, I would opt for the dongle. Easy to use & makes me feel comfortable, plus I'm not forced to give personal information to CL without compensation. Additional cost is worth the peace of mind. Animation Master insists that you insert the CD, like a game, and half of the time the program would say that the CD was not in when it was. Rebooting solved it, but what a pain, so I don't like the idea of CD keying.
