It was 1.4 when it was removed and I have no problems with SH4 phoning home to UBI or anywhere else using the SH4 D2D digital download or the D2D 1.5 U-Boats add-on.
( I did purchase the DVD just to have but have never opened it )
Furthermore, I don't use gu.exe that was for checking for updates to start the game, I use sh4.exe because I didn't want SH4 changing any files - especially if enabled with JSGME.
Lastly, I began making an edit years ago to another file, "main.cfg" in the install that enabled possible checks for whatever:
Quote:
Main.cfg:
[DEVELOPING]
DevDebugEnable=Yes
DevEditEnable=Yes
MiniDump=Yes
Changed to:
[DEVELOPING]
DevDebugEnable=No
DevEditEnable=No
MiniDump=No

This edit probably does nothing - to the best of my knowledge.
.... and just for fun because it is 'on topic':
Happy Hunting!
