License checking window

Hi,

Since the latest update, the window shown below is opening whenever I launch Bridge :



I have been told that it's a license checking window and that should probably happen with other CC applications in the future. If this is the case :

- Why not do this transparently without annoying the user with a useless and meaningless window ?

- Does this mean that license checking will be done more often, that is, every time I launch a CC application and for each CC application in the future ?

- What are the consequences if I'm using Bridge (and probably Photoshop / Lightroom in the future) in the field, while I'm not connected ?

- Is there any document announcing this new behavior ?

Thanks in advance.
