Poser 11.2 -- The NEW Poser :(

[sidherose]

Ok, I get you.  Will go to the public server and get new files.   I knew there were going to be issues because of the lack of communications from the PTB's.   Even while in the SLACK app we were not very well informed of things.   I realize there is a lack of personnel TO do the communicating, but c'mon now, a version change and no mailout or info IN Poser!?   That's not good at all.

I only downloaded the 11.2.272 update. That is the only version I've downloaded and installed, and then one day it was 11.2.286 and I seriously have no idea how that happened. I did not download anything else. I'd thought perhaps it updated over the web on it's own.

You already owned Poser 11?   I think that "installed 3 times" is utter crap.   You are allowed to move a "seat" from one machine to another.  If it was uninstalled without unregistering that installation first, simply tell them that no longer exists.   The rule I read from way back when is I am allowed to have 1 copy installed on 1 desktop and one mobile (laptop).  I cannot run both at the same time.  That is the only rule about licensing issues I know of.   Never even heard of "3 Seats" before now.

I have been hit with the issue of "too many instances installed" in the past with Poser 7, with Vue 6 Inf., and a few other programs.   Usually had to do with wiping the hd on an old laptop before giving it to one of my kids.  And, NOT de-registering it first.  Oh and Adobe Photoshop definitely hit me with that too.

So, did you actually talk to someone at Renderosity?

Yes.  I sent in a contact with the issue and Jenn replied back to me and was the one who told me that I had installed it 3 times and that was why the installer was saying it wasn't valid any longer.  By that time I had already purchased another version.  She asked me who I bought the new version from, I responded that I bought it from Renderoisty, along with the S/N and the Invoice Number and she went radio silent after that.  I've tried to reach out a couple of time since with nothing.

Ok I just had PP 11 check manually as 'check for updates on launch' was unchecked.  Duh.  Will turn that one one next!  New version downloading now.

Thanks Ray (and everybody talking about the new version!) !!!   

There is also a little tiny bell in the upper right hand corner of the program that will let you know when there is an update, or at least it did for me, today.  Perhaps this was part of one of the more recent updates?

I got one of those notices (mine  wasn't unchecked) the other day and I went and looked and decided I'm  not going to. So when you get it installed, McG I'd be interested to know what version number that is - if it's higher than .286. I don't like that the front update file doesn't have any version number on it. You can't tell if you need it or not. Over in the Poser forum, people have been asking for a kind of list that shows what the latest update fixed or did, like NVIDIA does when they update or just about anyone else. It *would* be nice to see. 

Seeing as how quite a few people do not have endless bandwidth and have to pay extra every time they go over their quota.

I just installed today's update and it was .289

I might have seen it in there. It 'rings a bell' - bad, bad...I know.  But I was so busy looking at everything and where it is.

Really, "How many more times?" - as Robert Plant would ask. Is this going to be like Windows 10 only somewhat more controllable? Hopefully not. Well the controllable part is good, just not "When do the updates end?" part.

Hi!  Just got up, and installed the new PP 11 files.  Its running and showed "11.2.289" in the splash screen.

But this just shows the lack of good communication between Rendo Poser people and us.   Part of that lack is there is no version number on the files we download, nor can you see which version the installers are until you are finished with the installations and the program is running.   I don't feel that is being too picky either, wanting to know this stuff.

Exactly. Everything else we get that has versions has that info clearly labeled.

On my tiny laptop screen its hard to miss it, but it's there.  Thinking I need to hook up an external monitor so I can see things better..these old eyes just don't see those tiny things so well on a 15" screen very well.

Personally, I don't care if they update it until they get everything that's been broken for years fixed...I'd rather have updates than have to shell out more money for another version, particularly in light of what I went through in July.  I really don't want to have to shell out more money for a new version so soon after having to purchase a second version of P11.  If they would "fix" my issue, I wouldn't feel so bad about it.

They need time before to be well with communication on updates maybe. Or maybe we don't look enough on their Poser forum?
