No you don't if you have an iLok... one of the main benefits of the iLok (although iLok ZDT, if you want to use that does need to see your iLok connected infrequently, and you will have ZDT if you are worried about loss...)

Your licenses are either in the cloud or on the iLok they cannot be both, so you can't use an iLok to make up or being disconnected from the Cloud fro some period of time.
iLok.com only needs to see the iLok from time to time IF you're using the free TLC (theft and loss) coverage. As far as ZDT - it's worth the few bucks one pays for it as is having a spare iLok.

When PT puts up the error are you running from your physical iLok? What does the ILM s/w tell you as to where your PT license asset is?
