Wait, is the auto-update all that's needed for network? I assumed it was license validation or something. If it's just updating, couldn't you provide a different method of updating like manual update checking, and then peoples concerns would be solved?

No, it does use the network to validate registration keys. Presumably this means a TLS connection per invocation of the binary.

> TabNine makes web requests only for the purposes of downloading updates and validating registration keys.
