Do I still need to log into the Cerberus Network?

So I'm about to do another Mass Effect 2 run and was wondering if there is any benefit to automatically log into the Cerberus Network each time I start the game.

It used to be the case that you had to log into CN to acces your DLC iirc but I believe thats not the case anymore.

It takes a few seconds to log into CN which is annoying since it happens every time you start the game. So can I just untick the auto-login and still acces all my DLC?

tl;dr: Is it still necessary to log into the Cerberus Network to acces your purchased content?

On a sidenote: the CN lists 4 DLCs as "news" which I already own (Alt Appearance 2, Arrival, Genesis, Shadow Broker). Is this the case for everyone since those DLC have the latests release dates or does that mean that they aren't installed correctly?

    You only need to logon once, after that you can play the DLCs without Cerberus network connection.

    For the "New" DLCs, look if the Alt Appearance 2 pack is available in game.

    If they are already in use they are registered to a different Origin/EA Account.

    Do you have a second EA or Bioware social network account?

    (A Bioware social network account is an EA Account.)

    I have a similar problem, but updating my game didn't help:

    I just purchased Mass Effect 2 and the DLC Bundle on Origin yesterday and installed it.

    Then I stared the game and it said to me, that I have to log in into EA Online. Quick login, done, no problem.

    But then I was told that I have to log in and activate Cerebrus Network in order to use all the DLCs. Since I got no Cerberus Key, I treid to use the activation key for Mass Effect 2 that I got from Origin. Didn't help. Then I clicked on "purchase cerberus network code" and it directed me to a website that doesn't work anymore.

    So here I am, spent 10 Euros for all the DLCs and being unable to actually use them!

    Please help me.
