I am posting pro 11 on a new PC and I know it is different from the version I was more familiar with Pro 2014
Are there old service releases and where to get them or do I get help via the download manager
regards DML2000 aka shadoman

Download Manager doesn't work any more. It was A Smith Micro program and wasn't included when Bandware bought Poser. The latest release of Poser 11 is on the downloads page at posersoftware.com. Look at the bottom of the page for the old versions of Poser.

Poser 11 had different "whole software" installers. 11.1, 11.2 etc.
11.1 (December 2017) added 3D Animation Path, and had Animation Palette improvements. Auxiliary z-buffer render Firefly switches were broken (missing - so we had to use use Scripts | Partners | Dimension 3D | Render Firefly | Pro Output panel). The last Smith Micro Poser.
11.2 (September 2019) went 64-bit only. New Bondware ownership. Many bug fixes. Auxiliary z-buffer switches restored.
11.3 (March 2020) added support for RTX graphics cards on Windows, and apparently this had to be "20 series". The last Python 2.x Poser, re: scripts. Store Purchase tab added.
Oh, and if you plan to run Poser 11.x and Vue then you want Vue 2016 R5. Vue R4 was buggy with Poser scene import. The latest 'subscription Vue' has no problem with Poser 11 scenes, and its many export options effectively replace the older PoserFusion plugins.
As always, some scripts that ran with Poser 2014 may have problems with Poser 11. Try the free AVfix from the Dutch Poser people, which fixes many version-related script problems.
