It's actually a different issue. If the servers are completely down, or inaccessible (blocked or you're actually offline) it uses the offline license check and works fine.

If you're online and the servers are online but having issues, like returning a status 504, your local license gets revoked. Even if you chose offline activation during installation it still tries the online activation method every few minutes. If there is a server response but it's not status=200 Bitwig considers it a failed license check. Offline activation checks will then no longer work until their servers give you a good response.
