Ok this is a real hassle !!! Poser up to Poser 11.1 there was no need for a Periodic licence check and now it does ... that sure is no Positive news as there are allot of Professionals that run there Programs on offline computers , and there are good reasons for some that they can not afford having there work machines on the net. These Machines are more Stable and have more resources.
As for me it is a good enough reason not to update to the Bondware version until this is fixed .... alternatively have to organize a medicine for it even if you have a legal licence. It sure is a conflict pushing things into a direction that one has to find an alternate way to avoid a call home and basically got to find a Keygen that blocks the feature !!!! I think that Programers deserve support for there development but if it leads to absolute controll I'm out until it is fixed.
I think after a Internet activation there would not be any further need to check on the machine and who knows how deep they do at the end even start collecting lists of run-time content and the habits of the User. It already has started by connecting the Library with the store and direct install ... I think all this can make a Program very vulnerable against attacks.
Also considering the fact that for example a Cr2 could have a built in Virus that a antivirus is not checking and the direct access to the Library in the Net is a really baad Idea .. rendo would have to make random security updates as you also are always connected with the store.
