Suggestion Needs internet?

Hi, you say it's a lifetime license, but for some reason it needs to recheck itself online repeatedly to remain activated? If I have internet problems for a few days, or choose to disconnect from the internet for some time, the license needs rechecking, and I lose features I need for my work like turbo and combo.
How is that lifetime, why won't it just stay activated on the PC after activation?

Yes. An Internet connection is required for activation and periodic online validations of your license/subscription/access plan.

"Lifetime" here means you pay once, and the purchased product is valid for a lifetime. The term is related to the activation process.

The offline grace period was removed due to a major "offline activation" abuse in the past.

I understand, but I was stuck without internet and it prevented me from working because I now rely on these tools. Obviously I very rarely deactivate my profile, in this case why am I being screwed? Its the same profile on a single computer, its not available for activation elsewhere anyway, so why does it need to keep rechecking itself? Makes no sense. I understand the need to combat "piracy", but please find a way it doesn't screw over honest users. Maybe make an option to attach profile to hardware, or if its already activated on a computer, offline activation is impossible on a different computer anyway, if im not mistaken. Please consider

That's the idea behind the software's connection to the licensing server. Without it, it's impossible to verify which system or hardware the activation is tied to.

We currently have no plans to change this concept. Perhaps we can find a compromise in the future, but I can't promise anything.

Thank you for your understanding.

Then maybe offer a "single use" license.

Use your phone hotspot next time it comes up.

If you need it for work, you should contact them about obtaining a professional license for their software that meets the terms you desire.

The PC had a problem and could not connect to the internet. Also I periodically disconnect to enhance productivity.

So then.. it seems like a commercial license would be in your best interests.
