Now trying to unsee that image!

You know, in retrospect, I should have thought about it before I uploaded that image.
For the record that’s “Ravioli” or something like that... it’s the hamster in my daughter’s biology class... he bit her and I asked her to describe him like I was a police artist trying to draw a suspect...
Thats nothing like what she described... but I feel it captured ravioli’s inner hamsterness...
Blame apple for making the Apple Pencil... or pen... whatever it’s called, which now allows me to scribble in digital formats.

No problem Terre! We have had some rain over the past couple of days but we didn't notice it amongst the usual downpours!

Good afternoon.
@Mythocentric Has the downpour finally ended?

One downpour ended, another (of possibly biblical proportions) about to begin. I've just started up Poser to work on an image only to be locked out and told: UNABLE TO CONTACT LICENSE SERVER! You must have an active Internet collection to renew your lease. Excuse moi, but wasn't that one of the reasons for the update? I put up with that rubbish with Poser 11 every month and I am not impressed with buying the Poser 11 Pro upgrade, loading the update which supposedly fixed that very problem only to see it recur. Current weather then is gathering stormclouds and a potential for severe damage from lightning strikes from this direction. Rubber boots highly recommended!
Am I correct in assuming your computer is connected to the Internet? If not, that's the issue. Others who have Poser installed on computers not connected to the Internet have been having issues.
If it is connected to the Internet, have you installed any of the updates from Bondware for PP11 Mytho? There have been at least 2 that I'm aware of. The current updates are dated 9/26/19. SM's server is gone now, and you need to get the Bondware updates in order to continue.

I only connect to the Internet when I want to go online Miss B. Otherwise I work offline. I have purchased the Poser 11 Pro upgrade and downloaded the update in the belief that this would fix the underhanded way in which SM dealt with licensing. Indeed that was one of the big selling points made by Rendo when they released the update. Thus there should be no need to be continually connected to the Internet and wasting my limited bandwith just because Rendo/Bondware has simply replaced SM's underhanded 'phone home' system with their own identical system. Indeed, I've been informed that I now have to put in a ticket with Rendo to actually correct the fix they claim to have already dealt with. At the moment, you can assume I am 'mildly irritated' with them for being less than forthcoming. You'll know I'm bloody angry when you see angels diving for cover! 
I suspect that it's one of those things that can't be fixed that easily/quickly, so for now at least, folks will have to put in a support ticket. I'm sure by the time they get to Poser 12, or maybe even sooner, that won't be necessary anymore.
Bondware hasn't had the software long enough to get everything transitioned so, yes, it can be irritating, but I wouldn't blame them if that were my case as well. I never liked that phone home issue, though I'm online as soon as I boot up, so have never had to deal with it, but can understand how you feel about it.

Sad to say they probably won't have a lot of continuing customers partially because of that specific issue. I find Poser a lot easier to use than DAZ and I probably won't try to even use poser again just because of the authentication issues.
