What if my internet connection drops out, or the Altium server is unavailable?
While using an On-Demand license, Altium Designer will make a request to the Altium portal at regular intervals to renew the licence, and also to see if someone has forced the release of your licence remotely. If the Altium portal is unreachable for any reason, you will not lose your license and can continue to use it. Altium Designer will regularly try to restore the connection. Initially Altium Designer does this silently, though you may notice error indications in the title bar which go away once connection is re-established. If the Altium portal is unreachable for an extended period (say, a few hours or more) you will see message dialogs reminding you to re-establish your Internet connection to the Altium portal. You will still not lose your licence.
