TIME LIMITED CONTENT THINK about it. Think hard. Think about Microsoft trying to get everybody into the position where they are leasing a time-based OS and HAVE to upgrade the license at fixed intervals, rather than whenever we feel we need to and can afford to. (Yes, I'm still running WIN98, and Bill Gates hates my kind.) Think about all your absolutely essential applications expiring if you don't cough up enough money on a regular schedule. That would hurt, huh? Now think about buying a figure, planning to use it later... like most of us who splurge when stuff is on sale or newly introduced. Think about 13 months later when you go to actually use that figure... only to find an expiry notice and a request for more money to extend the license. If the Daz|Studio content has those time-limited hooks built in already, is this the plan for the future? We won't buy a figure but only the right to use it within a set time period, if possible, and if not, tough patooties? Wanting to upgrade every year is bad enough for the wallet, but being forced to relicense in order to use what we've already bought is iniquitous! It is ALREADY built into this program. They wouldn't have spent the time and energy into coding time limits into the content if they had no intention of using expirations as a way to keep the cash flowing. This sort of licensing is used in other industries, so the concern isn't far-fetched... but those purchases are by professionals, not hobbyists, and they usually have an immediate need for the license. There are a lot of hooks, and not all of them are in the software. Carolly
