Been battling a number of bugs with Navisworks 2010
installs, specifically network Navisworks Simulate 2010 (which come bundled with
the free Navisworks Freedom 2010 viewer) and for some users the free standalone
Navisworks Freedom 2010 viewer.
If you're refering to Navisworks Freedom 2010, note
that the Navisworks 2010 products all come with Communication Center enabled, a
built-in lifeline to the web. I have reported a bug to Autodesk, where the
Communication Center works in NW Simulate 2010, but none of the links work in
the Communication Center for NW Freedom 2010.
In our experience, the NW Freedom 2010 viewer works
fine when run by various users (without any special rights), and there is no
need to register anything. I just checked how NW Freedom 2010 would behave
if launched while not connected to the internet, and it operates just
fine. The fact that you are "completing the registration process" makes me
wonder if you are installing the right thing, because I haven't needed to do
that with my numerous installations.
Did you opt in to the CIP (Customer Involvement
Program), and maybe that's what is trying to connect?

We
have dowloaded and installed the Navisworks viewer on a couple of computers. A
user with internet access has logged on and completed the registration
process. When they log off and someone without internet access logs on to the
computer, the application does not function. Does anyone know, is the
application just trying to verify that it is registered? If so, do you know
what web address it is trying to get to? We can add particular addresses to
our allowed sites list. They won't grant all-out internet access to these
folks, though. We are just trying to figure a way for these people to be able
to use the application without internet access, if possible. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you!
