Re-Entering My Activation Code

I just successfully downloaded the software, entered my activation code, took some pictures, selected the Eye-Fi card network and the photo's transferred in. Once the transfer was complete the Eye-Fi center closed and when I opened it back up it asked me to re-enter my activation code. Will the desktop receiver remember my Eye-Fi card similar to the Mobi application for Android or iOS, or will I have to re-enter it every time I want to use the desktop receiver?

The eye fi desktop program works in the background and auto-loads pics & videos to the folders you specified at the initial login.
I too thought there was an issue, but the "Eye Fi Helper" works as described on the webpage where I downloaded it. I tested this using my broadband card connected to the internet and after each pic I took, the camera card would connect to the computer and upload. Very slick. Considering the CONOPS for the internet-enabled eye fi in camera system, this makes good sense. With an iPad or Win8 Surface tablet in a backback, say, running the eye-fi program, one could auto-upload to the "cloud: from your camera with each "dump" cycle (haven't experimented with the timing yet). Now all I need is an app for my Nokia 1520 WinPhone...that would be VERY slick.
