license_activator.exe hits the internet every time I use TI

Thread needs solution

My firewall warns me that license_activator.exe is trying to connect to download.acronis.com whenever I start TI. By default I deny such requests. Will TI 2016 ever fail to function unless it validates every time I start it? (I permitted it to transmit to the network the first few times; it's still asking every time)

Would it be possible/worthwhile for you to install/use something like Wireshark to see exactly what that license-activator is talking to download.acronis.com about? I guess it could be something simple as checking for a new build/version of the software. It might not be a license check after all, despite the name.

Adding license_activator.exe to the Trusted sites in your firewall should solve the problem.
