Internet Connectivity

Macabacus must periodically "call home" to the Macabacus.com server to initiate trials, perform user authentication, log errors and activity (if enabled), check for newer versions of the software, and other operations. If Macabacus cannot connect to the Internet, you may be unable to use Macabacus.
