Rant On

So, just had my first Poser11.2 hissy fit because it couldn't phone home to validate. It obviously phoned home when I connected to the 'net to install the 11.2 update less than 3 weeks ago, so why doesn't the licence check last longer?

I have no intention of having my PC connected to the 'net unless I want it to or it really, really has to, but less than 3 weeks? Sort that out Bondware! The cynical me might think you want Poser connected 24-7 to link with the store but that wouldn't be real, surely.

Better still, get rid of the bloody thing. If ZBrush (which also requires online activation) can manage without periodic checks then I'm pretty sure P11 can.

Thanks.
