Yes, but it currently only "phone home" under the following
circumstances:
- Someone has manually modified the License Manager configuration
files
- A new version of License Manager plugin/applet has been downloaded
- The existing license has expired, if the existing license have
expired it will call home once a day or when you click the Apply/Save
Settings button at the bottom of the SBS Settings/Advanced/License
Manager screen.
So basically, if my server goes down it means that:
- You can't upgrade License Manager plugin as it's published on the
same physical server, so that reason is not likely.
- If your license has expired my server has to be up for it to be
renewed. Of course, my server also has to be up for you to be able to
purchase a renewed license.
And, if I for some reason would decide that I can no longer keep the
server available or can't maintain/support the plugins/applets at a
decent level, my intention is to release new versions of the
plugins/applets with the license checks removed.
