Offline mode not working. Reverts to sign in within 2 week period. Not happy.

I've searched for an answer but can't find anything, please post a link if this has been asked before.

 

 

 

I have activated offline mode two times now. Every time, I test it by closing Fusion, turning off my internet and opening Fusion again. Offline mode functions perfectly. However, I'll come back a couple of days later when I actually have no internet (I work in areas with no internet access), open Fusion and I get a sign in error, closing the error brings me to the logon screen which requires an internet connection. I'm under the impression that I get two weeks to use Fusion in offline mode before I need to reconnect.

 

 

 

 

To say the very least, I'm not happy. Both times this has happened I've been out at a work site with no internet access available and I was really looking forward to using Fusion. Both times I've been left bitterly disappointed and angry with nothing to do after work other than sit around getting drunk.

 

 

 

I'm only using the free edition, but why would I pay for it when I can't even rely on it opening when I need it? Hopefully somebody can help me adjust the settings and confirm that this is just me being an idiot doing the wrong thing instead of a real issue within Fusion.

This is the intended behavior as Fusion needs to sync back after 2 weeks.

This is documented here:
