Offline activation #99003
https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/99003
Hello,
Thank you for your question. I’m happy to clarify this.
TheBrain 14 does support offline activation and can be used in a fully isolated environment, such as a secured intranet, once it has been activated. In this setup, the software runs locally with full Pro functionality, but cloud services and sync are disabled.
TheBrain 15 is still in beta, and offline activation is not yet available in the beta builds. Offline activation support for v15 is planned, but for now, v14 is the correct choice for fully offline or air-gapped environments.
Below are the steps to perform offline activation for TheBrain 14.
On the offline computer:
Install and launch TheBrain 14
Go to Help > Offline License Activation
Copy or write down the full activation URL shown on screen
Transfer that URL to a computer with internet access.
On the online computer:
Go to https://app.thebrain.com and sign in to your account
Click your initials in the top right and select Account Info and Tools
Choose Offline Activation
Paste the activation URL into the Offline Activation Key field and submit it
A license key will be generated
Copy that license key and transfer it back to the offline computer.
Back on the offline computer:
Open TheBrain again
Go to Help > Offline License Activation
Paste the license key
Restart the application
Once activated, TheBrain will run fully offline with Pro features enabled. No sign-in or internet connection is required after activation.
Best regards,
John
