I see that it connects on startup to ninjatrader.com to verify the license, thats fine. Then I see it grabbing some sort of config file from ninjatrader-support. What is the meaning of that config file? I also see what looks to be heartbeat connections to ninjatrader-support.com. Everytime it appears nothing is being sent, however I try to keep my computer locked down as much as possible so I am curious when i see these types of communications. what is the point of these "heart beat" type messages?

Server communications....
I have been performing a packet capture to see what info ninjatrader sends out. Thus far I have only seen packets go to ninjatrader.com and ninjatrader-support.com... Does it ever connect anywhere else? For any reason?

It could connect elsewhere depending on what broker/market data vendor your are using. For NinjaTrader purposes, NinjaTrader communicates to home for the following reasons -
- Check licensing
- Retrieve information for customer notifications
- Config file can contain information that tells NinjaTrader what license server or historical data server to connect to
- Tracking TT transaction credits for those who choose to use our TT (Trading Technologies) licensed version of the SuperDOMRayNinjaTrader Customer Service

Thanks, I apologize for all the questions. I am just really close to pulling the trigger and buying a license...however being in the network security industry I like to be careful what software I put on my computer especially when it calls home.
