It would talk to your local license server, but it was definitely NOT communicating back to corporate.

  What timeframe are you talking about? I could be mistaken, since I no longer have the files from close to 30 years ago. But I did think I saw a case in which it would try to email corporate about using too many seats. It was memorable because that's the first time I saw that, and it seemed clever but invasive.

    Late 90s/early 2000s. I definitely spent some time with the licensing code and I know it definitely did nothing like that then.

      My experience must've been a little before that (I left that job in the mid-90s). I could be mistaken. Or maybe the licensing code changed (due the Web explosion, or to evolution of a great product, or some other reason).
