I have to agree 100% with Waseem. Your licensing method sucks. When your servers went down I had to scramble for some kind of alternative. I think it's ridiculous that TRK has to check EVERYTIME you run it. Once it's licensed and verified it should run whether or not it can contact the servers, until something changes, like an upgrade or reinstallation. And don't rule out your servers going down permanently. Anything can happen. And like Waseem pointed out, if that happens everyone is screwed.
Not only that, when it does stop working you never even know it. This has happened to me quite a few times and by the time I realized what was going on after several days my ratios were in shambles and it took me weeks to recover, and in some cases never recovered.
I haven't used Steam, but I've extensively used Microsoft and Google software and I've never seen one example of software that simply stops working if it goes offline.
