Any app that requires an account just to run a totally-local app, is also a company that can unilaterally deny your ability to run said software on your own computer for whatever reason they want.

Thanks, but no thanks.

If I install it, it should be mine to do whatever the hell I want to do with it, online OR OFFLINE.

Their FAQ says that the account and online access are needed for the download and license activation, but after that it can be run offline.
