ROG ... I do the same thing.... no internet on my DAW.... hence no need to have AV or FW...

However, I don't hesitate to connect a cat5 to the switch up here to authorize new software..... or even the large DL files from a vendor when I buy an update or something new.

As soon as the auth is good or the DL complete, the cable cones back out and it's life as usual round here again.

depending on the vendors.... some are simple and some are a PITA..... I have used a USB stick to grab the auth key and use it to activate the software... that works and usually only takes a few minutes..... but I've had some that were so frustrating that I went and got the cat5 and plugged it in.....

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
