I would like to run AM on a computer not connected to the internet, but I have learned the use of the disc as a key is no longer an option for the newer programs. If I connect a computer to my internet connection to download the newer program, then disconnect it, will the program still run?

I've been seeing a lot of 'build your computer' magazine issues, but most seemed aimed at gamers. What tweeks do A:M users prefer or recommend for their computers to make working with A:M better, faster, easier, etc.?

I am interested in posting my work on YouTube. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to save the animation so I can do so? (ie: save in A and convert to B, etc.) Respectfully, novice
