A great thanks to Ghostman for all his kind help and time on this. And for anyone else seeing a problem with greyed out export in the figure/object menu the problem was fixed after going through the steps and realising the GoZ scripts weren't installed in ZBrush. Updating to ZB 2019.1 and being more careful with the GoZ install and links within ZB fixed the error. Many thanks once again G-man. Paul

Ah! as they say when the curtain is drawn.
Many thanks for that kiind note ghostman, I will give that a try :) Cheers, Paul

Your welcome LeeMoon, trust it goes well. My big box died last year so currently down to my laptop, a MacBook Air with i7 and 8GB Ram mid 2013. Poser works fine, Zbrush too, DAZ is a fifth of the speed and rendering takes at least 1-2 hours. Even Firefly doesn't take that long, but may do with the new HRDI activated.

Hi Again, So downloaded and installed 11.2 on a Macintosh running Mojave 10.14.6 For your information — I am sure there will be variations depending on systems, and of course inevitable problems, however, it seems to work fine at first glance looking at the new La Femme default figure. The installer defaults to the wrong place on a macintosh, choosing the SHARED folder instead of the main drive with the applications folder in it, but this can be changed during the step through of the install window if you don't want to allow other users (may not be any) to use this software. As stated before, it does NOT try to uninstall previous versions so I still have my original 11 Pro and the early adopter 11 Pro Beta. It also picks up the license key from the system folder correctly without any data entry being required. If you leave your old versions in the applications folder with the name Poser or Poser 11 on the folder it may overwrite the contents of this. Circumspection by renaming such folders as Poser 11 SM (for Smith Micro) and Poser 11 Beta for the early adopters may have prevented the overwrite. The Beta I will of course delete. Thanks for all the hard work, Time to have a beer :) Cheers, Paul

I'm not sure this is the right thread to mention this, but the mail that comes with a link to update to 11.2 takes you to PoserSoftware.com/downloads. Unfortunately, the file in the Mac section for Poser is, at the time of writing, version 11.1.5 not 11.2.

It is of course the future here in Japan, being 13 hours plus ahead of the US depending on which time zone you take.

Again, as Poser users are spread across the globe, it would be useful for consumers/users/community to know what time frame is being used when stating a download will be available on the 19th, e.g., such as, GMT. Could this be passed on to the Marketing Department as delicately as possible?

For information, on a Macintosh using Mojave 10.14.6, the bondware beta 11.2 doesn't ask to uninstall any existing Poser Pro 11.
Moreover, it picks up existing license keys of its own accord when being installed.

Curious as to why the Gold Release deems it necessary to do an uninstall as any earlier version used a different license server for verification/authentication — something that was a one off, and the new server being a driver for the current release.

You seem to be implying 11.2 needs to verify every time it opens which would make working off-line impossible.

If, on the other hand, it doesn't have to verify each and every time it is opened, then why would it need to do an un-install of existing software that has been paid for and used successfully for some time?

Preferences and other such items are, moreover, kept in separate system folders so there is no conflict there either.

Sincerely, Paul
