Not for the foreseeable future, but on-prem license servers are a possibility.

I have exact this issue. I understand it’s probably caused by the condition that unable to reach the license server. I’m working in offline environment usually so this behaviour is quiet annoying especially when the container was killed in the middle of some relatively long time tasks. I’d suggest there can be a blocking notice popup before shutdown. to let user finish the work and connect to internet to make the license validating go on.

@smallfz After startup, a successful license check is only required once per week. You can go offline for up to a week with no unexpected shutdowns.

The UI and UX around this will definitely improved before we’re out of beta, although probably not with a focus-stealing alert.
