II discovered that I can no longer (apparently) use Sibelius without an internet connection. I've used Sib for @ 40 years (but who's counting) I've wasted (literally) weeks getting the new "ultimate" version . Now I seem to not be able to use the current Sib. without being on line. For forty years or so, I have been able to compose/arrange in the US, Asia, and Europe. Now, I seem to be unable to write music without an internet connection., even at home. Is there a way I can ? Even getting to Avid to ask the question seems to be impossible.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

I believe you can do this, but you have to 'check-in" once a month. I'm not sure what the exact procedure is, but there is a help article here: https://avidtech.my.salesforce-sites.co ... -Licensing

Steve. Also bear in mind that this is an old, unofficial forum, with only three of us left answering questions! The official site is here:

https://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpce ... ?groupid=3

This has been discussed a few times on the official forum, and it's definitely possible.
