Don't know. Maybe they did something saner in "newer" version but.. Lets 
compare.

Daz3D - download the free download manager and get.. free Daz3D, then 
the manager tracks all purchases and installs them as well, as you buy 
the bloody things.

Poser 9 - Where to start..

1. poser.com has no "account" login. See, their "content" is handled by 
another site, and the main page is "only" a snazzy advert, with some 
links, which will eventually get you to the right place, if you are 
looking for, say, an upgrade patch.

2. Files.. are zip archives. Yeah, they are actually exes, but they are 
all crammed into zips. WTF?

3. These all have to be, individually, unpacked to a single location, 
then the installer run, to actually, well.. install.

4. Downloads are "time limited", so.. if you, say, had a massive hard 
drive crash, like I did, you can't redownload the damn things.

5. Trying to use a "trial" install may, or may not, get you recharged 
for it (I never could get a straight answer from them on whether it was 
actually going to do that, or if the new key issues would just.. work, 
since it seemed to be providing me with links to the "full install", and 
showed $0 for the cost, go figure..). But, then.. you still have to 
figure out how the frak to get to their content site, to download the 
right files to do the full install, which is.. non-obvious.

Should have, I think, just given up. lol
