Off the top of my head, I think it was Photoshop or something else along those lines (it's been a few years). It installed itself a little helper tool that ran as root which could talk to the licensing servers without tripping Little Snitch.
I don't run Little Snitch any more, so it may no longer work that way. Some software (games seem to be an egregiously bad offender) insists on communicating with seemlingly random IP addresses and not using DNS to resolve them, and it's hard to run any kind of filtering software or parental controls such as Screen Time successfully. I make do with outbound filtering at my router.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI definitely needed to let Photoshop CS6 through Little Snitch to activate a few years ago. (but jiripospisil also brought up a situation that I wasn't aware of.)
