swmcl-affinity Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi, Is it possible to use Affinity Photo 1.7.1 offline ? I have a computer that will never be connected to the Internet (except for when the software is installed ..) Is that a problem ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkehoe Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi, I almost always use Affinity Photo offline (and Designer too). But a few caveats: I'm on a Mac and bought both a long time ago via the Mac App Store. I just updated Photo and Designer to 1.7.1 on one bootable disk and have used both apps offline. So running them after installation without a web connection is fine. Getting them running properly may require an initial connection though. We'll have to see what others say here. Also, I found Affinity Photo makes outbound connections to Amazon Web Services shortly after launching. I don't want my Mac making unusual outbound connections so I use Affinity apps offline.

This is only to check for new updates (and if there's one, it asks if you want to dowload it), and for the panel with examples of files to download, links to videos and tutorials, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swmcl-affinity Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 So is the consensus that it will be OK to install Affinity, allow it to register online initially and then pull the machine off the Internet thereafter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yes, this is how I run ASuite.
