Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this: since about a week or so ago, any Adobe app I use (Photoshop, After Effects, etc.) asks me to connect to the internet for verification every single time I open it. That wasn’t the case before it used to ask maybe every 2–3 months, and that was fine.

Has something changed on Adobe's end recently?
I’m not too happy with my workstation needing to ping Adobe servers constantly just to launch software.
Anyone else noticing this?

no.

I just tried to open offline,Premiere Pro,Media Encoder and Photoshop and I was not asked for any online verification.

Thanks for checking, appreciate it.
Yeah, sounds like it might just be a bug on my end then. Feels like my system is begging for a clean reinstall at this point....
