When you launch ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5 you get the potentially familiar ON1 user interface. Online validation is pretty standard, and just like the Adobe products, once validated, you do not always need to have a live Internet connection. This performs the license validation and also checks for new information. You download the software and on first launch you either create or login to your existing ON1 account. When you look at ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5, it's not a marginal update, it's truly an incremental upgrade with brand new features and functionality. That bit of perceived heresy was the first indicator that there is a market for solutions that work with Adobe products, and a market for solutions that didn't require the presence of Adobe products. For some users, particularly those uncomfortable with subscriptions, or not needing to get the full depth and breadth of Photoshop, and not requiring or wanting the digital asset management capability of Lightroom, ON1 Photo RAW 2017 was a completely viable and solid answer. When ON1 Photo RAW 2017 was first released, the real big deal was not that it was a powerful set of plugins to Lightroom and Photoshop, which it is, but that it can run completely independently of Lightroom and Photoshop including RAW decoding.
