Floating license server: what does "automatically re-verify its license in 90 days" mean for offline activations?

We are distributing the floating license server for customers who have ephemeral installations of our product (typically on Docker containers). Customers who have installed the server in offline mode are seeing this output when they check the status of the server:

```Floating license server (TFS) v4.0.9.7

This floating license server instance is currently activated (with this product key: xxxx) and will automatically re-verify its license in 90 days.

Floating license lease slots available: n```What does this message mean in the context of a server that was activated in offline mode? Is it going to try to re-verify itself over the internet, or is there an offline form of re-verification?

Thanks for the clarification!

If it was offline activated it will attempt to re-activate. However, the difference between offline and online activations is that if it fails to reverify with online activation in X+Y days then the TFS will stop working until they stop blocking connections. With offline activations it wont stop working after X+Y days if it fails to reverify.

Thank you very much for the clarification; we appreciate it!
