It seems like a 1-time thing, so once it is running I think you no longer need their servers.
I believe they do this because they are also trying to be a content portal, and this ensures each machine is activated in conjunction with an on-line account. No account, no activation code.
It wouldn't be my preference to handle activation this way, but since the printer was free, I'm not going to complain!
