This isn’t true. In the FAQ on their download page, they explicitly mention that you only need to be online during initial download and installation, then you are free to be offline, either perpetually or for up to 30 days. Its hard to know which because the wording isn’t consistent across official sources. There are features that won’t work without an internet connection, but they are things that actually require an internet connection like stock photos and their AI. Why do you talk authoritatively about something you don’t know anything about?
Yeah, other than directly contacting Affinity, we won’t know which case is correct. However, the one thing we can say for certain is that the credential refresh timer is not on the scale of minutes. From anecdotes in the official forums, it’s pretty clear that it is at least a 30 day refresh timer, though some people report it never needing to be refreshed
Sure the tons of people who use the software have more authority on the matter than someone who hasn’t. Besides, you shouldn’t need a trusted authority to tell you online features require an internet connection
