Why am I asked to sign into Sage Drive when I don't use it?

SUGGESTED

A new log in screen that took forever to get past today for Sage Drive EU (which I don't use and will never use, as we only use Sage on ONE computer and no other devices). Why did I have to spend forever messing about setting up a Drive account / password when all I wanted to do was sign into Sage 50 on the computer. Lots of going round in circles to the same couple of screens then having to 'admit' that I had 'forgotten' my password when no password had ever been set then waiting for an access code and start the whole process again. 

A We aren't in the EU

B I don't use Sage Drive

C Why has the access point changed?
