ProTools 2019.12 unable to launch without internet access

[ryanbrubacher]

Hello all. Been a long time reader on this forum (been with ProTools since v5.3) but this is my first SOS post.

I’ve realized my current version of ProTools (2019.12) now cannot load without being connected to the internet. I have a perpetual license with current support plan. (Expiring in Dec of 2020). When I launch ProTools and my WIFI is active it boots completely as expected. When the computer is offline though ProTools will not launch. It just sits indefinitely pre the plugin scanning process. Does this version now call home to verify an active support plan before launch? If so is there any way for me to work offline only?

I tour with ProTools and cannot rely on having internet access to use the software.

Thanks everyone.
