Have either of you that claim I'm wrong actually tried this?
Jeffrey,
I agree with you. Some friends have Solidworks Premium, and every time you launch it, if you are offline, a popup comes up telling you it cannot connect to servers to verify license. This is the premium version, I do not know if the student version acts differently in this regard...
