However, you do need an internet connection. MechDesigner occasionally checks your license with CopyMinder.

We use CopyMinder® for our software protection.

When you buy MechDesigner, we email you a Product Key.

You need the Product-Key to run MechDesigner the first time, or to move MechDesigner to a different computer.

If you have a Network-License (also called a Floating-License), your I.T. department should install MechDesigner. I.T. should keep the Product Key.
