Oh dear. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Like Kahurangi, I travel. The Internet isn't always there.
Five days is a red herring. What if X1 checked home four days ago, and I set off for a day trip today?
I'm afraid this is unacceptable behaviour. I paid to use this software, not much, but I paid. I don't expect to have to jump through hoops to be able to travel with it. The licence conditions specifically allow installation on laptop. What is it about the concept of a laptop that puzzles X1? Don't the folks there realise that the whole idea is that you carry the thing from place to place, where the Internet may be a luxury?
Throw in the people behind firewalls, and the new regime is a case study in how to upset customers.
Does anyone know which other software checks in this often? This is not,as far as I know, the case with Nuance's software, previously my favourite case study in how not to protect your IPR.
