When my computer is offline (WLAN stick disconnected), Native complains ( ' not initialized ').
But:
Helix Native Plugin is authorized.
Computer is authorized.
I can replicate this :
Computer online: Everything's fine
('You have a valid Helix Native license that does not expire')
Computer offline: Message in orange letters ' Failed to connect to DSP engine
(Unknown communication error
'
