IsGenuineEx behavior when no internet

I'm calling IsGenuineEx(X,Y) having done activation online.I want to understand the return codes when there is no internet.Is the following correct?First, let's assume IsActivated would return success (i.e. no fingerprint change).During the X period, returns TA_OK, no contact of the server.During the Y period, returns TA_E_INET upon the first call, this call does attempt to contact the server.During the Y period, returns TA_E_INET_DELAYED for next 5 hours or so, no server contact.During the Y period, returns TA_E_INET after 5 hours, basically repeats the above until Y period runs out.After the Y period, returns TA_FAIL.

>> "During the X period, returns TA_OK, no contact of the server."

Yes.

>> "During the Y period, returns TA_E_INET upon the first call, this call does attempt to contact the server."

Yes.

>> "During the Y period, returns TA_E_INET_DELAYED for next 5 hours or so, no server contact."

Yes.

>> "During the Y period, returns TA_E_INET after 5 hours, basically repeats the above until Y period runs out."

Yes.

>> "After the Y period, returns TA_FAIL."

Yes, and you can then use IsActivated() to see if IsGenuineEx() is returning TA_FAIL because the customer was never activated or because the customer has been blocking your app's access to the servers.

Thanks, Sam. That confirms what I was thinking.And that's a good tip about using IsActivated to determine the reason for TA_E_FAIL.
