If you really think your customers are criminals, this would be the way to go about licensing. It still tastes bad, but nowhere near as bad as not being able to use a product you paid for that *doesn't*depend* on anything on a server when the server barfs. Especially when the product is best suited for away-from-the-table analysis!
That shows a level of contempt for your paying customers that is quite astonishing, and I think unprecedented. Like I said before, A+: innovation in this respect is not easy!
