I live in Arkansas & internet access is a premium around here. My options outside the city are two way satellite or cellular. Both present problems since most windows services & just about every application pointlessly checks in with home servers constantly in order to receive updates or preserving their own interest. This would be fine however I'm on a metered line & get a little upset when I'm paying $100/mos. for all the software I use to check & make sure I'm not stealing software or my subscription is current, and then downloading a 500meg update to the spanish language faqs and user interface. something I'll never use...

Is there a solution that doesn't require a constant connection to the internet? I'm not concerned to much about price but I'd consider $10,000 to be a little absurd, however $2,000 would great to start with. It would come down to features, options, & how badly their copy protection interferes with my work.

Thanks in advance...

For what type of work?

Fusion 360 doesnt need continuous internet access. Once you have logged in online you can switch to offline. I cant be sure but seem to remember it only needs logged into the internet every two week.
