NoLimits 2 install and play offline?

1 to 9 of 9

Hello,
i plan to buy NoLimits 2. For safety reasons my windows PC is completely offline, there is no LAN or WLAN connection, no network, no internet. For Internet i have a second, small PC running with Linux. Is it possible to copy downloaded files (including perhaps licence files) to the offline PC and install and play NoLimit 2 without internet connection?

I know some other Software (e.g. Video Editor) you copy files to the offline PC, then generate an individual configuration file, copy this back to the internt-PC and upload this to the Homepage of Software developer. Then you get a licence file for your computer (individual information was in the file send to the software developer), this is copied back to the offline PC and then sorftware can be used.

Connecting the windows-PC is not an option, and the second windows-PC with internet connetion is an old one used only for very special uses and i think it does not have enough calculation power. Also i do not like software that is only running with internet connetion, it cannot be used when internet connection is down or company of software has shut down service...

I hope, my english is not too bad, i am from germany.

Best regards

NL2 never requires an internet connection, except for when you need to install an update

You can purchase from our main website www.nolimitscoaster.com and receive an email with a download link. You can then use this downloaded file and your user registration to activate your software.

Without being connected online, you will have to manually download and install updates from the Resources page on our site.

Hello,
i have purchased the professional version. But there is one Problem: I get only a small install file (install.exe) less than 1 MByte. This file will download the complete files and install it. But not on a Linux-PC, i need the files for the offline PC for direct download. How can i do the manually download and install? The Recources page have no link for the software irself and only an additional install.exe for the updates.

Best regards


Hello,
i see, that the install file is much bigger, about 1GByte! It seems to be the complete software, so i try it after Downloading... Then i have to download all tutorial from youtube. Is there a handbook as pdf included or available?

Best regards

There are also a ton of helpful resources you can use to get started here on Nolimits Central. Check out the resources thread.

edit: Element 115's hand-building bible is an incredibly helpful guide that should be more than enough to get you started. you can find it here

Hello,
there is now a problem after installing was successfull: First i have to enter User-ID and Key and this was successful. But then there pops a window with "internet connection is required for licence key activation". What can i do now? It should be possible as written above: (Ride_Op wrote:) "You can then use this downloaded file and your user registration to activate your software."

Is there am alternative method to activate not directly with internet connection, e.g. by copying generated files between offline-PC and internet-PC? Or by copying MAC-adresses or so from offline-PC and generating an activation file? I can imagine that i am not the only one user trying to install it on an safe PC without internet connection...

Best regards

As correctly mentioned earlier by Asianguruu, you will need an internet connection to activate the software. This is required for all new installations, including if you are reinstalling after having to reformat your computer or some other scenario.

After activation you can run NoLimits 2 without an internet connection. You will have to manually install future updates by downloading the update file and somehow transferring it to the offline computer.

My apologies for any confusion.
