RStudio Server Pro Licence fail?

Had an issue today where our RStudio Server Pro decided it was no longer licensed so shutdown and prevented production workloads ;-(
It is licensed and has another 74 days to go:

rstudio-server license-manager status
RStudio License Manager 1.2.1335-1

-- Local license status --

Status: Activated
Product-Key: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXx-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Has-Key: Yes
Has-Trial: Yes
Enable-Launcher: 0
Users: 0
Sessions: 0
Expiration: 2019-12-06 00:00:00
Days-Left: 74
License-Scope: System

-- Floating license status --

License server not in use.

It was activated off-line (because we're behind a firewall, and have a proxy), and I re-activated it offline to get it restarted so I'm not sure why it's trying to connect to an external server to verify?
Seeing this in the logs, it tries to verify every 12 hours:

grep license-manager /var/log/messages

How can I stop it "calling home" as it's always going to fail.

thanx,

One potential recommendation: Check for a second NIC. In my experience, (with rstudio connect at least) the licensing check identifies the second network identity as requiring a second license.
