\n

Can I start the free trial without an internet connection?

\n

Short answer: No. Registering needs internet because the confirmation code arrives by email. Once the trial is running you don't need to stay online for everyday use.

\n

No — registering needs a connection, because the one-time code that confirms your email arrives by email. Connect, register, and type the code back in.

\n

Once the trial is running you don't need to stay online for everyday use; only some features, such as cloud transfers, need the internet by their nature.
