I have a new laptop with windows 8 and thinking of installing Poser 7 on it since I have Poser 8 and Poser 2012 on my main desktop. I don't want to uninstall Poser 2012 or 8 off my desktop because I use them there for testing and figure creation. 

Any suggestions?

Can you only install to a single machine now?  Earlier versions didn't have that problem.

If you can only use one computer at a time then I think it's fine to install whatever you want on the laptop. The only stipulation is that you can't use two instances of the same version at the same time.

I see no reason why Win 8 should be a problem.  The only foreseeable issue would UAC interference if application and content are placed into the Programs folder. 

BTW, you can use 2 instances of the same program at the same time as long as they do not access the same network.  Poser will detect the network activity; disconnect the computer from the internet and it will work fine.  Otherwise, it will restrict multiple running copies.

thanks for the advice, I am going to try installing P7 on my Win8 system. I need to use it for testing of stuff I am working on.
