Hi, Earlier today a person put in a request for a poser3 or 4 someone might be willing to sale. I am a big fan of poser and most all the 3d programs that I have been able to afford. I bought poser 3 about a year and a half ago and then upgrated to poser 4 the second it came out. I installed it and have been really happy with the changes, so much that I have no use for poser3, its sitting on my shelf collecting dust. It seems like a terrible waste so I wonder whats wrong with selling this fine software to someone who might get the same enjoyment I did out of it. I am also not quite sure about what is expected as far as transferring ownership, but I really don't understand whats wrong with selling it. At any rate I will be the first to admit I am pretty much a lurker here and I think this is a great website and the last thing I want to do is step over the line, just please explain to me what is the big deal. thanks for your help.........asmith

heya; when you upgrade from one version to another it is illegal to sell or distribute the previous version. if you had bought a full version of poser 4, you could sell your poser 3. the reasoning behind this is that the first product you bought serves as a sort of 'down payment' on the upgrade, so the upgrade is an extension of the product, not a replacement.

You know, I upgraded TO Poser3, but got Poser4 as part of a bundle, via an academic discount (I worked for a school); does this mean I could sell/trade my P2 AND P3 together? The legalities get bizarre...
