Use LivePen offline

LivePen works without an internet connection. Once your licence is activated, you can draw with Wi-Fi off for as long as you like.

When LivePen goes online

The app connects for two things only:

• Licence checks. When you activate, and occasionally afterwards, it confirms your licence is still valid. It sends your licence key and your Mac’s name, nothing else.
• Update checks, unless you’ve turned automatic updates off. See Automatic updates.

It never sends your drawings or anything about how you use it. See the privacy policy.

What happens offline

• LivePen starts and draws using the last licence answer it saved. It doesn’t wait for the network.
• The background licence check runs at most about once a day. If it can’t reach the server, LivePen keeps the saved answer and tries again later.
• A network problem, a slow server or a captive Wi-Fi page never locks you out.

When an offline licence ends

• Lifetime licences keep working offline for good.
• Annual licences keep working offline until the end of the paid year. After that date, LivePen needs to reach the licence server to confirm the renewal.

A licence only ends if the server clearly says so, for example after a refund or when an Annual plan wasn’t renewed.

What needs a connection

Activating a licence and deactivating a Mac both need to reach the licence server.
