This post is more for the benefit of newcomers to the Poser scene.

Depending on which source you download from, you may find sub-folders under the Pose folder named P4, P5 and/or PP.

Until Poser Pro came on the seen, the convention for the PP abbreviation means ProPack version of Poser.

( see this reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poser )

Going forward, this may no longer be the case, and PP could in future be used by content creators to mean Poser Pro ( the operative word being "could").  Best to check if in doubt.

On a similar note, I have come across abbreviations M2 meaning Miki2 (the Smith Micro Graphics figure) in some instances, and Micheal2 ( the DAZ3D figure) in others.

If you have any version beyond PP (ProPack), then use the latest numbered version.
