Amplitube hangs with no internt connection

Last night I fired up the setlist for my main band. GUI popped up and appeared to load the setlist. But that was it. Attempts at any action popped up hourglass forever. 2nd attempt gave the bleached out look. I was able to exit from the upper right corner with a Windows “not responding” message. It generated a report to Microsoft. Do these things actually go anywhere? No Cantabile reports, but it knew it shut down abnormally. I tried preventing audio engine, etc. on startup but always ended up in the same situation. A much smaller setlist for the Sunday morning band worked just fine.

I made a new setlist and started rebuilding one at a time. Problem seemed to be isolated to songs using Amplitube/Tonex. Thougn not all songs using those. I decided to try reinstalling Amplitube. IK Product Manager told me I had no internet connection, which turned out to be true. After restoring internet, the problem went away.

The no internet message also included something about my stuff will stop working within 72 hours. That’s pretty disturbing. I bought this. Not a rental. I’m also somewhat disturbed that Cantabile just froze. If I was at a gig with no internet I would be screwed.

I messaged IK support. Meanwhile, checking if anyone here has any insight.
