I installed and successfully activated a free version of DraftSight 2015 x64 on 5th of November 2014.

Since that time I didn´t received any request for re-activation however I used the DraftSight being always connected to internet.

One month ago (more than 6 months after the initial activation) I needed to run DraftSight in a location without access to interned. DraftSight produced a warning message that I need to re-activate till 36 (hours,days,… ????) and then run without problems. Later that day I started DrafSight again with internet connection and it run without any problem and with no requirement for re-activation. Then I used it repeatedly many times during several days.

Next week I was again out of internet connection and the warning message noted “ till 24”,

next week “12”, another week “8”, but DtaftSight always run without problems.

Yesterday, again without internet connection, DraftSight produced info with “0” and with requirement for activation and shut down. After I connected to internet no message appeared and DraftSight run as normal.

Today I launched DraftSight at home (with internet connection), closed my laptop not switching off and traveled to place with no interned access.

My questions :

In the Free Installatin Guide I found that I need

“Active Internet connection for download, activation and services offered within the DraftSight Community”. However it seems to me that I need Internet connection always whenever I want to launch DraftSight. Is it OK ?

If not, is there any way how to force re-activation despite I received no e-mail with instructions from DrafrSight ?:
