Yes, that is a glitch, a bug, and I have fixed it in the next release (next week). RDSS should not care whether you are connected to the internet unless you want to download race cards or access the tote streams. It was never my intention to harass users by checking the subscription status each time they run RDSS2.
It was a completely unintended (and unexpected) consequence of the encryption scheme I used in the last version's License file, which I have just completely replaced (another case of too clever by half
). It appears that the License file encryption scheme library required access to the internet, otherwise the License file became corrupt and was treated as if the software had not been registered at all.
Please note: this will also happen even if your computer IS connected to the internet, but your Windows Firewall is blocking access to RDSS2. If this is the case, you will have to manually add RDSS2.EXE to your your Firewall's list of programs permitted to access the internet.
Very sorry for that. Here is the full bug report on this (
