How to Do an Offline Activation
Why can it be necessary to do an offline activation?
Larger companies offen tries to controll the use of the internet, and for that use they has installed a proxy server, which will cache internet pages and more.

Your IT department can either whitelist our server, or do an offline activation as described below.
