The online check has been updated so that modifying the hosts file no longer works.
Important! delete all hosts that were previously added to bypass the online check, e.g
- 127.0.0.1 activation.cloud.techsmith.com
- 127.0.0.1 oscount.techsmith.com
Block outgoing access to the following IP's in your firewall:
- 157.56.8.159 (hostname: activation.cloud.techsmith.com)
- 69.167.144.18 (hostname: oscount.techsmith.com)

When you succeed, you will see this prompt instead:
BTW, another choice is to use the portable version, which you can find it here:
