Are the Poser version from their website and the ones from eBay or Walmart the same?

I've seen Poser Pro 11 in their website for about $350, on the other hand I've seen what I think are "the same" versions on eBay and Walmart for about $150. Are they the same? Are clothes dynamics, soft bodies simulation and fluid simulation included in the 11 pro verion? What else do you think is needed to get started to make a anime movie? Thanks in advance!

    There are Pro and non-Pro versions, make sure you aren't comparing one Pro with one non-Pro. Also, with eBay sellers, be very sure they are legitimate copies that you can register and not "OEM" versions that are in fact pirated copies on a DVD-R with a keygen.

    Thanks for the answer! The copies I found look legit to me. Another question that I have. Do I need to buy additional add-ons for extra functionality or does it comes with a fair ammount of desirable features? Also about how much time will it takes to render a one minute movie with HD quality, 1920x1080 with a GTX 1070 if somebody did the test?

    Here's the feature comparison between plain 11 and 11 Pro...

    That Walmart price on 11 Pro is a great deal; that's much less than I paid to upgrade from 10 Pro .  I looked up the UPC they gave (717103270147) to make sure it wasn't an Educational Version, but it seems to be the Full Retail DVD.   Once you get it,  updates are available through the SM Download Manager, which can be gotten here if it isn't on the DVD;

    They are real, I bought Poser Pro 2012 for $90.00 and it came with the real disc and everything.
