ThreadText: # How do I install Adobe Premiere Elements on a computer that's isolated from the Internet?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-16)
  
  I want to install Adobe Premiere Elements 14 on a computer that's not connected to the Internet. I used version 3 back when it was current and it did the job, but I don't know what happened to the discs. I didn't have that problem then, however.
  
  Some software insists on contacting the publisher's server, but they often provide for substitute validation. Does Adobe offer an alternative validation for air-gapped computers?
