> I'd be pretty pissed if I bought a copy of the product with a perpetual license, and the seller switched it off by turning off "activation". I delayed paying for a certain piece of software I really needed (Tripmode for MacOS) because it uses online activation. Having software NOT require online activation (I don't care if there's offline activation) makes me 1000x more likely to pay for it, honestly.
