I wasn't running any of those. Plus it would be ridiculous to bother with a demo if you have to be that careful. Their demos in the past haven't done this and their demos in the past didn't require an Internet connection. Also, they say that this doesn't happen with the voices once they are purchased. If I understood correctly, the demos used to be exactlyu the same as the regular functioning of the voices except for the fact that they quit after thirty days; I don't understand why they should be now working any differently than if you had purchased the voice. The purpose in a thirty-day demo should be to make sure the voice really works with your system.
