Rob,

Is there a better way?

I realize you want to ping the server every time so people just don't hand out copies of their license and you would lose money. It just sucks right now because I have a few hours before work and I want to jam and I cannot. I don't know anything about coding could you set it up so if it sees their is internet connectivity but the site is not responsive that it allows it to run anyway?

Or maybe some type of 30 minute trial mode. So when things like this do come up at least people can use it for 30 minutes then they have to reboot or something.

I know this is not your fault I was just wandering if there is some type of work around you can implement to avoid this in the future.
