If you read the documents we release you will see that the information is included:
Please note that a permanent Internet connection is required in order to use the EDIUS Pro 8 Trial Version, as it will check the EDIUS ID on first launch and on a daily basis.

Please download and read "Overview of the activation system".

but you WILL need to have periodic connection to the Internet,
as EDIUS will poll the server to verify the EDIUS ID. If there is no response — you are offline,
for example — then EDIUS will begin to count the number of days of offline usage.

from this site.... and about a short view .. I see NO info
that the Trial need continuous Internet connection ...
there is NO begin to count the number of days of offline usage
If you not have Internet, you can not start Edius at next day.......

Some german Trial-user runs in this (imho undocumented) new "feature"..
and ask frustrated on the german forum, is this know and real intended, or a simple a "unscheduled error"

and behind a recall to the distributer, I had to answered
I can it not understood, but this is real planned and real intended...
