No MicroStation Connect Offline Usage?

MicroStation Connect Edition doesn't start without network connection. It closes without further notice after showing the splash screen. Connection Client opens with 'Connection Issues' error.
Is this expected behavior?

MicroStation Connect Edition 10.12.00.40
Connection Client 10.00.16.10

  • That's pretty inflexible...
    So you're saying that I couldn't take my laptop to the park, or to the job site? That I couldn't take my laptop home with me to do some work in the evenings?

    You're saying that CONNECT will have to connected to the internet 100% of the time to be usable?
    That kind of defeats the purpose of having a laptop at all.

    Yes, I saw that the "administrator" can generate a license file...Can they do that once per machine ever, or do they need to do that every time the computer is to be disconnected from the internet? (IT is going to love that...)

    This is a step backward from previous licensing.
