Activating Isadora normally requires an internet connection, but it is still possible to activate Isadora with a computer that cannot connect to the Internet with the following steps.
To complete this process you will need to use another computer that does have Internet access, as well as a removable USB drive (or other portable data storage device).
- Connect your removable USB drive (or other portable data storage device) to the offline computer, and launch Isadora.
- From the menu, choose Isadora > Help > Offline Activation.
- In the Offline License Activation dialog, fill in your License ID and License Activation Password.
- Press the "Save Activation Request File to Removable Media" button.
- Isadora will create an Activation Request File. Save this file to your removable USB drive.
- Disconnect your removable USB drive from the offline computer, then plug it into the online computer.
- On the online computer, navigate to where you saved the Activation Request File on your removable USB drive.
- Double left-click the Activation Request File to open the Manual Request page of the License Portal.
- Press "Download" and save the ‘response.xml’ file to your removable USB drive.
- Disconnect your removable USB drive from your online computer, and reconnect it to the offline computer.
- On the offline computer, click "Load Activation Response and Deactivate" in the Offline License Activation dialog.
- Select "response.xml" on your removable USB drive.
This completes the offline activation process.
