No monthly authorization takes place if you have bought a yearly membership, since you now own the software permanently. In fact no further authorization is required unless you want to install on a different computer. You could potentially unplug your PC permanently and it would work. However if you do want to avail of the monthly updates and features you will either need to connect to the net or have access to a different PC to download the updates.
This is a big difference with the way our system works compared to some other companies. Its completely non intrusive.
Thanks for the answer. That's what I wanted to hear.
