I just checked with the laptop, and now, if I have Fusion open on the home PC, then start it on the laptop, an option is given to suspend the older session on the other computer and allow you to run Fusion on the current one, but it wasn't like that a while ago, I distinctly remember having to go to the other pc and close Fusion so I could run it on the other one, and that still doesn't help if the internet is down, no luck for you then
They could in theory make something like a HASP key option, so that you could stick something in the offline thing to allow it to start the app up, but I'm going to guess that it never is going to happen, since Fusion is oh so integrated into the cloud and meant to run in online mode, sort of true for the "advanced" features, so perhaps the "offline" people are the minority and simply not worth the effort to fix these things
edit: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/supp...n-Fusion-360-without-internet-connection.html this suggests that one should be able to start it without internet, but none of the 3 pcs I tried it on can do that, you can update it to latest version, login, work, log out, pull the ethernet cable out, and when trying to start Fusion it will tell me that I need internet connection and no option to start in offline mode
and nah, I'm not going to contact support over it, very rarely do I ever run out of hardline internet, and if I do, I can use phone to get online over cellular
