## **Licensing and Offline Use**

GeoDin Onsite performs a license validation check each time the application is launched. This ensures that the software is being used under a valid license agreement.

## Offline Mode

If you're working in the field without internet access (such as on a tablet or field computer), GeoDin Onsite will automatically switch to offline mode. In this mode, the software can continue to operate for up to 30 consecutive days without revalidating the license.

After 30 days offline, the application requires an internet connection to revalidate the license.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The 30-day offline period is separate from the actual license expiration date. Users must ensure that their license remains valid and reconnect periodically to maintain access.
