Hello @antgata,
Welcome. If you are in a restricted environment you can make some adjustments. An internet connection is required to activate, every 30days you should be connected to the internet at some point to verify your license & use the software.
Please review the following information:
What URLs/Protocols Are Accessible for Subscription Licenses
Single-user Access (formerly Desktop Subscription): Full Site detail for Proxy Whitelisting
Subscription Licensing ā Proxy whitelist
5. Use Fiddler to locate web sessions being processed on the system, to locate network traffic
Let us know how this goes.
