O.P. Disable a program to connect internet
Is it possible to disable a program to make internet connection? I have this program that makes connection to it's server automaticly to check updates and check if it has a correct serial number (which I haven't, right).

Use a firewall.

Windows Firewall, check the program is not in the exceptions list, if its is then untick the box

That exceptions list is only for programs that act as a server (accept incoming connections). The Windows Firewall cannot block outgoing connections, so it's pretty useless if you want to prevent an update check.

Another way around this is ResHacking your program and changing the program version number to whatever the latest version number is, however this would most likely your EULA. I haven't personally reshacked a program, but i know that it's possible.
I should change my sig ay?

RE: Disable a program to connect internet
Usually there is an option to stop automatic updates, if it is not available, you should probably get a firewall, Norton's would do it easily, since it is pretty easy to configure.

Tnx. It's a shitty program actually, when you insert a cd, it goes searching on the internet for the audio titles on the cddb's database. Meanwhile it checks your version. Recently I started it up and there is the message your version is illegal, blablabla. And the company behind it is as paranoia as possible...
But that is my opinion!

If you block its access to the internet how is it going to check ONLINE for audio titles?
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

What is the actual name of the program? Have you looked in the program settings for options related to the automatic update setting. Or an option for manual updating\only updating at a set time.
