For what type of work?
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...

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.

It's now every 6 months I think.
