Helix Live Plugin...why does it 'phone home' often?

In Ableton, even just clicking on the settings for Helix Native (after I have closed it) causes it to check server for authorization

Im wanting to use this in a live rig/minipc as Helix just doesnt cut it for my application and I cant stand the footswitches...

 

Is there someway to stop it or at least refresh it before I gig?

 

Cheers

Just realised I should have posted in another area...please move to software/helix

And yes I read that the trial needs to be signed in at all times...but even opening the screen?

 

Cheers...hope it helps someone else

For anyone else; support replied and stated that once authorised, HN will not phone home and leave you stranded at a gig as opposed to the helix, locking up...twice...shortly before a gig and needing a reset and despite the phantom power blowing at a gig (as I use condenser mic for an acoustic)...as you dont always have control over who plugs your gear in ;-)
