Defunct install code usage claims, seems fishy

INITIAL IDEA -- Set up a firewall rule to keep FMS from phoning home.

UPDATE: Later I read that keeping FMS from phoning home could make it stop working or, worse yet, getting a call from FMI sales. Therefore, the idea of using a firewall to stop phoning home ... evolved over time to appear to not be workable from that new information.

I can not find where FMI states, in writing, what it uploads and states how I can OPT OUT of that data collection.


Windows 10 is another prime example you can't disable phoning home (except Enterprise version) where the first part of any Windows install is a registry hack and firewall rules creation.
