Thanks team! Really appreciate this...Congrats to all...

It's not just the gallery, it's the store and it has also affected the previous purchases download ability. I was going to purchase something, but thought better of it, since there might be some problems with the purchase process...

What the heck can change with the program after the initial verification?
So, I would like for someone to explain the rationale for the subsequent verification processes. No other program I use ever does this. Also, I would never use the direct purchase from the library--in my estimation, another bad idea...

DISCLAIMER: I am not associated with Bondware or Smith Micro. I have no direct knowledge of their motivations or rationales. However, I did work in software development for many years, so my comments below are based on that experience.

Bondware probably wants to use Internet Activation to prevent your small graphics company from buying one copy of the software and then running it on 5 machines (or more) at the same time.

As for "no other program [you] use" doing this, I can only assume you're not using the Adobe Suite? Photoshop and InDesign (I use them every day) both perform routine checks on the license. If you use any Adobe products, then you are already doing the checks. (Am I right in guessing you use open source tools like GiMP or some other image editor?)

I do hope you'll be able to get them to extend you to a one-year period between activations (and you did reboot your computer after they made the change, right?). I think that's pretty cool of them, to be honest.

As for you not using the direct purchase from the Library... well, I can't see using that feature much, either. But that doesn't mean I might not at some point in the future. Having features I don't use doesn't bother me much. I just ignore them.

Goodness, if you are going to address someone's comment, do try to make it to the latest comment made (by me)...NB: my PP 11.2 license was extended, and, no, I don't use nor intend to use the latest Adobe products that are "cloud" connected...I use Photoshop CS6 which is just fine for my purposes..."new" is not always better or necessary...you should not assumed so much.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I posted this thread on the 2nd of October. Today is the 11th. Once again the 'Unable to contact licence server' popup has come up.

That's 9 days. Not even the 4 weeks that's been touted about as how often it phones home. This is a poxy joke. Either make it permanent (not a ticket to extend the time it takes to phone home again) or at least make it maybe 6 months.

Really not impressed.

Have you submitted this problem to support? They took care of my problem very quickly...my extension is for one year, which I consider a fair compromise which I can live with.

Very happy to say that I was able to get my subscription/activation for PP11.2 extended. I submitted a ticket to Support--very quick response too :) So for the time being, using Poser won't be such a hassle. So, if anyone else has an issue with this activation process, do contact Support.

one man's meat is another man's poison. If you don't like the direct purchase feature, you are not forced to use it. Some people want this feature, and some do not, that's why you CHOOSE whether to use it or not. YOU are in charge of what you search - whether it be online or local.

Yup, you are so right, and that's why I deleted all those links...

Since you were so quick to reply about those store library links and apparently someone who has some "authority" regarding PP11.2, perhaps you would be so kind as to also explain why Poser needs to be authorized on a regular basis...

I too do not connect to the Internet with my computer used for graphics. It is more than aggravating to have to connect that machine to the Internet so Poser can verify the S#. The initial use of Poser should suffice for the verification process.

I got the same message yesterday...today no problems...it's a mystery to me...

Happy update: reinstalled both PP11 (third time) and EZSkin 3, and now they both are making beautiful music together.

Well. I will just have to reinstall it and see what happens. Thanks for the replies.

I have the latest version of Win 10. It must be my version of EZSkin since you are the second person who hasn't any trouble with it. I'll reinstall it and see what happens. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

I've been using EZSkin 3 in PP11 64-bit just as I used to use EZSkin 2 in my old P9. I haven't had any issues at all.

Needless to say, some tweaking has to be done depending on the character, and the character skin set, but the script works just fine.

The 64-bit Poser version or the 32-bit version option that can be downloaded in conjunction with the 64-bit version? Yes, EZSkin 3 works for me as long as I'm in the 32-bit version.

Nope...PP11 64-bit...yes, they work fine with the 32-bit PP option for the 64-bit machine, but not in the 64-bit PP11. If the 32-bit PP11 will no longer be available, will the 32-bit option to download those files in addition to the 64-bit program files be available? Hope that's clear :)

Does anyone know how to use these scripts with 64-bit PP11?

Many thanks team for including my image in this week's "Picks." Congrats to all !
