Installation on computer without internet ?

[Anonymous]

I wish to install Autocad LT 2018/2019 on a computer that has an air gap - never connects to the internet.  I was able to install Autocat LT 2011 and it has worked until now.  Can I get a license and product that I can install on the air gap computer?  What should I expect if the computer never connects to the internet?

Hello @Anonymous, 

Welcome back to the forum. 

Our single user/multi-user (standalone) subscription-based licenses require an internet connection to activate & every 30days you would need to connect to the internet at some point. 

Are you a large organization? If so, you may have the option to purchase or change to a  Multi-User (network) license it supports a specific maximum number of users on computers connected to a network. Licenses are issued via Network License Manager (NLM) software utility to each user who starts an Autodesk product, up to the number of licenses purchased. Usually returns to NLM when a user closes all Autodesk products, which makes the license available to other users. NLM can be configured to allow a user to borrow a license and disconnect from the network until a specified return date. 

Please contact the Sales Team or visit the Locate an authorized Reseller site to find out more.

under the new licensing for standalone  internet is required for set up & activation

you can look at multi-user licensing where the license is hosted inside your network

Since you indicated you have the LT version of AutoCAD you wouldn't be able to obtain a multi-user subscription for this product unless you're subscribing to a large qty or considered a enterprise customer of Autodesk.   So at this point if you don't have a machine that can connect to the internet, single user subscription of Acad L:T will not work for you.   Moving forward you will need to subscribe to the full version of AutoCAD in order to subscribe as a multi-user type of license.
