Does Storage Studio need the internet to stay licensed?
Short answer: Once verified, your licence works offline for about two weeks. After that a quiet Working offline notice appears, with no pop-ups or locks; reconnect when convenient.
Only now and then. Once your licence has been verified even once, it keeps working offline for about two weeks with no internet needed. Storage Studio checks in quietly when it can — daily for subscriptions, weekly for Lifetime.
If you're offline longer than that, a single quiet Working offline notice appears. There are no pop-ups and no feature locks — reconnect when you can and it clears.
