Latest Build Offline Installer

I assume the "always online" feature is designed to prevent pirates from getting a hold of the application and cracking and distributing it illegally. But I do have a problem with this "always online" method.

Maybe it could be be setup to check for validity once a month, and the application should lock itself out until internet access is allowed for it to check for validity again (so even if it's distributed illegally, it'll lock after 1 month anyway). Once it checks, it should reset the one month check period. That way, we only need to let the PC connect once a month to activate it SVP and done.

If my internet goes down for 2 weeks, all I want to do is probably watch movies/series at home if I have any free time. But I guess we could always use SVP 3 in that case until the internet comes back.

Actually, in my experience, SVP4 itself is semi-portable in that you should be able to manually copy the program folder to another PC.

Note that you may also need to copy the folder where configuration data is stored, which is the "SVP4" folder located in %appdata%; though I would recommend intentionally not copying the "Settings" sub-folder.

Note however that the auto-updater doesn't seem to be too happy if you move the program directory, so you may need to make sure that it's in the exact same location on every PC; however it's very possible that this issue only occurs if you do in fact copy the above-mentioned "Settings" sub-folder.

yes thats fine, as long as i can carry this to another pc.

if bandwidth is an issue, than i can say that downloading a 10mb package to pull across other stuff in itself is useless, why not just make it a full blown installer like version 3?
