When you launch AstroClock for the very first time, it runs in fully-functional mode for 10-14 days. After that it switches to free mode with some limitations.

If you decided to buy AstroClock later and run it after PayPal payment done, the program gets automatically permanently activated as a fully-functional application.

You don't need Internet connection anymore to use it.
