Can I activate offline?

Can I activate offline?

No. Activation requires an internet connection to verify your license and fetch initial updates. If the PC can’t go online, connect briefly (Wi-Fi/ethernet/mobile hotspot) to activate and update, then you can work offline; note that updates and some features will still need connectivity later. For strictly offline or restricted networks, please contact our Support Team—we can provide the required allowlist (URLs/ports) or alternative guidance.
