The paid up version only needs internet for updates, as you would expect.

Yeah, you are right. Had been a while since I used the trial version (which does check the expiration date etc). I took ages to convince myself to buy it, but am very pleased I did. Well worth it, though I do find myself sneaking the finalised TIF into PS to saturate a bit (I still find the PI saturation routine a little clunky).

The tool I really like a use most is Masked Stretch. Does a great job of realeasing the finery without stretching or clipping the living daylights out of the rest of the image.

What scares me is how PI very easily shows which data you have is bad I have to redo all my bias and flat sets.
