Install LR-LM softwares on PC without internet connetion.

[kreena]

Hi

I am planning to send my dds to my mother's place which is a
remote village and they don't have internet on their PC.

I have LR-LM software in CD bought here. 

Can I install it on a computer which is not connect to internet.
What else I need other than CD?

Hi Kreena!

Little Reader requires internet connection at least once - you need to be connected to the internet when you are activating your Little Reader license key during installation.

However, a workaround would be to install Little Reader on a laptop computer, and activate it as soon as you install it (with an internet connection, of course.)  Once you have already activated Little Reader on the laptop, you can go ahead and bring anywhere you want; it will work with or without an internet connection.

I hope that helps!

Hi Lappy,

Thanks for the reply but I am Confused

I have installed LR on my laptop and Desktop. (Both PCs have activated softwares )
But I dont use my laptop for showing LR-LM.

So I want to uninstall LR-LM from my laptop and use it with
my Parent's desktop which has no internet connection.

Can you tell me, how I can proceed from here.

Hi Kreena,

I'm afraid it's not possible - you MUST have an internet connection during installation.  The question would be HOW you give your parents' desktop an internet connection that one time.

You could bring your parents' desktop to somewhere which has an internet connection when you install the license key.

Alternatively, you know how mobile phones nowadays can get on the internet and come with data plans?  Many mobile network operators now also provide USB devices which carry SIM cards that act like a mobile phone to connect to the internet, for use with laptops.  If you know someone who has such a mobile Internet connection plan via a USB device, you can bring that and plug that into the desktop to connect that once.

If you don't have such devices, it's even possible to connect a PC via USB (even wirelessly) to your mobile phone so that your PC shares the mobile data connection that your mobile phone has.  This can easily be done, for example, with a mobile phone that runs Google's Android.

Hi KL,

My parents leave in a small village in India more than 250km
away from my home with no other connectivity than road.

I tried to use USB modem for my laptop
there (at my parents place)  but it didn't worked.

Cann't I install LR-LM from the CD I got from you?
It should have the license keys, right?

Hi KL,

I didn't get how the internet on mobile will be useful for the PC?

You can install the software from the CD-rom, but your license key will not activate, because it needs to talk to our servers to do so, hence you need an internet connection.

It's all about how are you going to provide an internet connection to your parents' PC.  Mobile phones often have internet connections.  If you have the right phone (like an Android phone, eg., by HTC), then you can install an app on the phone which will allow a PC to share that phone's internet connection.  You just have to connect your PC to your phone via a USB cable. (with certain phones, you don't even need a cable - it can be done wirelessly).

Thanks KL, I will check if I could get phone or USB modem
from another service provider.

This weekend I am going there so I'll try.
