Pro Work Offline

Hi, Just got the app. I work on my Mac OSX 10.13.6. However it doesn't seem to activate the pro version unless I'm online and sign in. I really don't like to work online for cybersecurity reason. How can I work in Shot Designer Pro without having to sign in?

Thanks

Hi,

You don't have to work online, but you have to be online for 10 seconds while activating, and then the app has to see the server every 30 days for 10 seconds. If your computer is on the internet basically ever, the app will ping the server and then you're fine.

To be clear, the mobile Shot Designer app, if purchased on your Apple/Google device, has its activation managed by Apple/Google and doesn't involve a check-in. But anything that involves your HCW account requires a check-in. It's not just activation of the app, it's activation of all the cloud services.

My concern is if I'm not online that I can't save or use pro features. I appreciate the check in extension. I tested the IPad version years ago, but It's no longer on my old IPad. I'm not sure what happened to it, but now my iPad is too old and out of date to download most mobile apps.

In practice, this is a non-issue. In the lifetime of Shot Designer, there have been zero people that have been stuck without being able to save and without connectivity.
