[ptc-5167117]

I installed the student version of Creo 4.0 on my laptop and it runs fine as long as I have an internet connection, but if get this warning when I don't have an internet connection.

I have limited access to the internet, so I would like to run it offline.

Hi,

when internet connection is ON, network card with MAC address 00-26-82-CE-F2-90 is enabled.

When internet connection is OFF, network card with MAC address 00-26-82-CE-F2-90 is disabled.

Open Command prompt window and launch ipconfig /all > ip.txt command in both situations and compare these files. I can check files if you can upload them.

Hi,

in ip_online.txt I can see that MAC address 00-26-82-CE-F2-90 is assigned to Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter. Unfortunately I do not understand why it is not visible in ip_offine.txt.

Is Broadcom 4313GN internal or external adapter ?

Is Broadcom 4313GN disabled ?

I don't know what a Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter is.

How can I check to see if it is disabled? The only access to the internet that I have is a mobile hotspot with limited data. That is why I would like to run it offline.

Hi,

it look like you use https://www.amazon.com/ZTE-Wireless-Internet-Device-Unlocked/dp/B07PLSTM1K box.

• what you need is to get license file related to Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller (see ip_online.txt, MAC adress 1C-C1-DE-A1-D4-CC)
• find some place where you can connect to internet by wire (using your LAN adapter)
• move files from C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory to other directory
• rerun Creo installation (hopefully you will get the right license file)

Hi, 

This is the mobile hotspot that I have. Does that change anything that you asked me to do?
