I have Wine working on my Linux system.

So I decided to try and install Poser 11 Pro.

Of course i failed at my serial number because Smith Micro's servers are dead.

Is there a fix?

How are we handling old serial numbers in a Renderosity controlled world?

I think it might work if I could get past this. 

I'm finnally on a new machine that can do 3D after a 15 year hiatus. his was the first time I put the disk in a computer.
I have a giant library of DAZ and R'osity stuff going back to 2001.

I'm rocking a Dell T7910 with dual 8 Core Xeons and 96GB of RAM. I have 2 Geforce GTX 1050ti in it, and 2 1TB SATA SSD.
Oh. And my RTX 3090 should be here by October 3rd. (Fingers crosed.

I'm pretty sure even if I created a VM it would still fail at the Serial Numbers.

So can someone link me to a solve that doesn't require me to upgrade to Poser 12. I really can't afford it after going into debt for the new toys, and I'm mostly using Blender, Unreal Engine, Godot, and FreeCAD for 3D these day with the rest of my Bread and butter apps all FOSS.

Rendo' would do well to read the writing on the wall and get me a Linux version if they want me to buy Poser 12. Or least a WINE Certification.

I'm really only interested in transforming the $10+K of content I bought over the past 21 years of Poser work into a format I can use. (Blender).

I have a couple of things I can bribe the community with.
I made a Comic book version of Ironman I can make available for free along with a super low poly version of Unimesh 3 (Vicky3 and Mike 3) characters for background work. 
Reslo take all 3rd Gen UV maps and clock in at 2600 quads.

I mean, I have GTA V running. Poser shouldn't be harder than that.

I'm obviously coming out of retirement, (Now that I am retired! LOL!)

Thanks in advance for the help.
