2016 & 2017 off line?

[JHOG]

I need to upgrade to Windows 10. I don`t want to install 2016 & 2017 on my new machine. Is there a way to open them on my old Windows 7 machine without going on line?

I think you need to be online at least once every 90 days so the program can check in with the Intuit server.

However, why don't you want to install 2016 and 2017 on the new machine?  It is  fairly quick, easy, and does not take up much resources on the new computer.
