Before you could download licenses for everything you owned even without the game being installed. Now you must install a game first before you can get a license for it. This will have major implications for jail breaking.

What this means is that you can't restore your games from backup while offline because uninstalling them also removes the license, forcing you to put the console online again to download the license again.
