Let's say so: After the switch to the new Poser 11.2 and the Bondware-License-system. Which in turn means: When those server are shutting down for whatever reason (for example Smith Micro ceased to exist) my PAYED (!) version of Poser also stops working.Īnd this for a rather expensive product which also have a FREE alternative on the market (namely ✽AZ Studio«) with a WAY BETTER rendering engine. OK.īut more important (a fact I wasn't aware off): Every single time I started Poser 11 it called home to the Smith-Micro-server and checked my license. It's totally out of my experience why that haven't changed their license system transparent to the old one (answer: probably because when the new company Bondware acquired Smith Micro some time ago, no-one is there anymore who knows how the old license system technically works). OK, at least they don't tell any bullshit but admit they have changed something. Here's the link to the page:īy reading through the page the important thing is this:īut the main reason for the update is the depreciation of Smith Micro's licensing system and implementation of Bondware's licensing management for versions above Poser 10 (Poser 2014 Game Dev, Poser 11, and Poser Pro 11). Then I remember I got an eMail some days ago stating I need to update to »Poser 11.2« or otherwise my version »may not work« and »you must update.«.
The grace period for activating this product has expired.
By starting it I simply get a message saying:
