    it does if you make it work in those conditions.

    software that “phones home” is easy to fool.

        typically the phone home is looking for a response to unlock.

        use a packet sniffer to see what the request/response is and replicate it with a proxy or response server.

        this is also know as a man-in-the-middle (mitm).

        takes skill and knowledge to do, but once you do a few dozen it’s pretty easy since most software “phone homes” are looking for static non-encrypted responses.
