Dear Michael,

We got in touch with in order to solve your issue.
Nevertheless I would like to mention that:

  • Discovery  mode does not require the internet for processing. Internet is  only  needed the first time that the license will be activated. After the license is activated, processing can be done without an internet connection

  • Monthly, yearly or one-time charge license  does not require the internet for processing. Internet is  only  needed the first time that the license will be activated. After the license is activated, processing can be done without an internet connection.

  • Trial  requires Internet

Best

Hi Marco
Your advice is incorrect. We have logged in previously online, but now the product will not work offline. We have a licensed copy of Desktop.

Hi Michael,

You are using a Trial License that’s why, as it is said above, internet connection is required.

Hi Marco, my colleague informed me he purchased a licensed copy (with an 8 digit licence number).

I apologise if I have been misinformed.
