I need to install Illustrator on a PC with no internet connection.  I understand Illustrator is now subscription based. Is there a workaround for me to install and update the software on this non-internet PC while I continue to pay for the subscription?

Hi @Wai Yin30971474for7,

You would atleast require limited internet connectivity periodically to have some chances to make it work. Firstly you will have to land an installer to get it installed on your PC, that you can try and get by contacting Adobe support. If you get the installer then you will still need internet on your PC to activate the software, this activation and susequent checking of your license is done periodially and if it fails you might lose access to the application on that machine.
