The activation for VF is a two-step process: first you get a serial number. This serial number is entered at the VF site and issues an activation code. This is the code that activates your software. See FAQ:

"Product Activation Required - Once you complete your purchase go to: http://www.virtual-fashion.com/html/en/register.php. Enter your serial number and Security Code as displayed along with your valid email address (confirmation will be sent to you upon completion). You will then be directed to a page where you are given an activation code and you select a username and password. Once VF has downloaded and been installed, launch VF, go to the VF Resource Manager and enter your username, password and activation code (all of which are case-sensitive). Note: an Internet connection is required to validate the activation code. If you do not enter the activation code within 10 hours of use, the program will cease to function, so we recommend you do it immediately."

Of course once you imported a garment from VF into Poser, you can change materials/colors/patterns in Poser

Q: I heard on the forums that VF license is only good for a year. Is this true?
A: No. The software license for Virtual Fashion Basic for Poser is a perpetual license to use this software. The software will not time out, and it will continue to be supported as long as it is offered for sale. Software updates (such as bug fixes, etc.) are available free for one year after your original date of purchase. Additional development, new functionality offered and updates beyond one year will be available in the form of software upgrades.

There are issues with certain design choices - they take much longer to sim. They are also relatively easy to avoid or to correct. See FAQ on www.e-frontier.com

"Q: Are there known problems with the software?
A: Yes and no. While the software performs well while in Virtual Fashion, some design decisions may affect how the garments simulate in Poser. These are mainly narrow bands and cuts that create “jaggy” polygons, and some collision with stretched garments that may collide with other garments or the skin of the model. Both cases, as well as workarounds are described in the VF Basic PE (Poser Edition) User Reference Guide Poser section starting on page 45.
