I have several computers that I let set for maybe a year or so then turn on to update these computers are back up computers for my work place I have noticed lately if I do update then let the system set on shelf for several months not to long the computer has to log online to re attenuate this becomes troubling because 3 of the computer are out of the area and in a location without internet all these box’s have legal software and this troubles me why this is taking place and with fear of a computer failing to work without having internet connection is not good is there a patch or what update did this some of these computers only get updates on schedule maintenance once a year now I find this just started to happened or I just noticed this where I have some computers that have sp3 installed and still not show issues of having to log the net to attenuation to be able to use the machine

Can anyone help with this problem what update did this and how do I fix this problem

Please don't double-post.
