8.7.3 and recalculation frequency

So, you miss the old "immediate" recalculations from 8.7.1 version? From an email I sent to one of our Users earlier today asking about this -

we changed this behavior to address certain flowjo crashes. The most stability we've achieved in the program, is in this version, because of this change. The crashes caused by instant live recalc affected all speeds and models of macs, not just the older ones. If you haven't hit this, you're one of our more careful users who probably waits until "tasks" are finished before you queue up more gate movements, batches, etc.. ;)

To get the old behavior of recalc with a keystroke, click on All Samples and hit [cmd]+[=], or batch, or make a table, all values will be recalculated as needed. We cannot post version 8.7.1 and previous because of fairly major stability concerns on all Macintosh platforms (and various other bugfixes.)

Version 8.7.3 now checks for a site license key every time a workspace is opened. Isn't this a little overkill? I do a lot of analysis on trains & airplanes (read: no internet), and now I have to open every workspace I'm possibly interested in, before I leave the office. God forbid FlowJo crashes 30 minutes into a 6 hour flight, and I have to watch "Horton Hears a Who".

Is it really necessary to be so draconian?

Instead, why doesn't FlowJo keep track of the last time it polled the site license server, and let's say, check again in 24 hours?
