Not you will be able to use your Poser10 as is, simply because the old license server has been shut down in-between. but if you still have the hard disk, you may compare the content poser10's folder (where the executable lies). There probably is a file that is a kind of key, except if the key was hidden in the registry.

Poser 10 does not use the license server.  There was an update to Windows 10 years ago that removed Flash, which broke Poser 10.  There was an update to both Poser 10 and PP2014 to fix this, SR4, I believe.  Unfortunately, I don't own Poser 10, so check with Bondware and see if they can provide the update.

If it's on your laptop, try going to a coffee shop or library with free internet and start Poser, and hopefully  it can get it's token to continue running.  Good Luck!

Well, the good news is that due to recent events, PayPal has changed their policy, and now allows payments to Ukraine.

The bad news is the recent events. I hope Karina is okay.

Indeed.  I haven't corresponded with "Karina" in about 5 years, but he was in the Army reserves....

......And...the text is wrong for the second straight week...

Could be. RTEncoder is kind of a pain. I've noticed DAZ no longer requires it for older products sold in their store. Like Melody for A3. Probably too much of a pain dealing with RTEncoder tech support. They haven't changed the readmes, though. I guess no one ever reads the documentation. :-D

DAZ changed their EULA several years ago; basically one can distribute derived works so long as it requires the original purchased work to function.   Otherwise, it is the exception when their documentation is useful. 

This is a render I did many years ago of a  beta of shvrdavid's weightmapped Sydney, asymmetry and all.  It was a nice figure with a few quirks, but because of the asymmetrical geometry (not asymmetric in shape, which could be dealt with,  but the number of polys varied from one side to the other!!), fixing those quirks would drive one to drink, because one could not mirror the weightmaps, but had to do each side separately.  To this day I still don't understand why SM wouldn't allow distribution of the modified figures and Syd 3...

I don't think there's anywhere else you can see the pic. Renderosity nuked all the old images when they changed their forum software. So much was lost. A lot of tutorials and other info...gone forever. Chohole has not posted here in five years.

Chohole was very active at the  DAZ  Forum, but sadly passed away a few months ago.  :(

Hmmm, I thought I replied to this thread; silly Forum!  :)

If you cannot get hold of Colorcurvature, Lyrra has M4 and V4 child dials here in the Store:

Apparently Google changed the download links for Apollo.  He can be downloaded here.

I added the M4WM beta to my folder of Poser Place files, which is here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9_I3V6UTuuXcGlDMkdYVVhtd3c?resourcekey=0-ME4E5TSyPHVV4I89wDRxYg&usp=sharing

I have a copy of Beta 2 of the Poser Place M4-WM.  As beta testers, we of course weren't supposed to distribute it until the final version was released, but that obviously never happened. 

The included license file says it is released under CC 3.0 license, but the document itself only mentions V4-WM.  If there is a consensus that it is OK to distribute, I could put it up. 

I guess I waited too long to edit my post; I looked up the original Sasha-16 ShareCG download page from the Wayback machine, and it's "unrestricted use":

Here is the download for the 2017 version of Sasha-16, as well as a few JoePublic weightmapped figures (the latter are RTencoded)...

This is merely speculation but Karina hasn't been around for a while. Maybe doing an Anton Kiesel... but AFAIK you can still find Apollo. Seems weird that the site is still up so maybe an exit stage left in preparation for an update.

I hope they are OK. One can find Apollo because it's on my Google Drive. I could put up Sasha16, but I only have the 2017 edition; I missed the 2019 window. I recall trying to download it but the link was dead.

There is some discussion of .cr2s; DAZ' EULA does allow some IP redistribution if the original product is required, and Karina does discuss this in the documentation; viz;

"The base mesh of V4, the Morphs++ package, and all the other morphs are owned by Daz3D, thus I can't distribute them. You need to own these items in order to make SASHA work! "

Paolo has made Reality open-source, but i don't know enough Python to do anything with it. Code is here...

AVFix is for Poser 11 only, and wouldn't help with Reality in Poser 12 anyway - Reality has a compiled .pyd file that needs to be recompiled from the original source files.

Reality is now open-source...

I was thinking about this fine fellow the other day...
