Question

Using Photoshop in a 15 hour Art Photography WJEC exam with NO INTERNET ACCESS

Can anyone advise on the possibility of this please.

In this 15 hour/ over 3 days WJEC exam pupils must use Photoshop with no internet access.

 

I'm tech support and not familiar with Photoshop at all.

 

If I give our users a local computer account not connected to the internet.. launching Photoshop needs them to log into Photoshop online to verify the licence.

Can we cut off the internet connection after the initial login?

 

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

We are currently running Photoshop on Windows 10 22H2

You should be using Enterprise licensing where the activation works differently. And your licenses will be owned by the testing firm, correct? Not the clients?

Alternately, you could get everyone logged in and then turn off Internet at your router.

Individual subscribers to a Creative Cloud plan can get (from 5) up to 30 or 90 days 'offline' depending on several factors.

In the past some suggested to Sign Out and Sign In to the Creative Cloud Desktop App before going offline, which apparently 'resets' or refreshes the start of an offline period. Note that altering a computers date in the OS can cancel any offline period.
