From http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/press/04_0818.html

*Periodical License Verification / Validation
The software uses the LEAPSystem for License Verification and Validation. After installation, when the software is launched for the first time, the license verification / validation will be processed via Internet. After the validation process is completed, the validation will be periodically renewed via Internet, from time to time. However Internet connection is not needed between two validation process.Does this bother anyone other than me? What happens if Pegasys goes out of business!? My product stops working!?

It's the same like with XPress 3.0. I don't use such software (i hate those "ET-Syndrome").

Have I been asleep? Is this already very common for the newest products?
