Coffalyser.Net does not require an internet connection for the analysis of MLPA data. However, an internet connection is recommended for ease of use, and the default installation process does require an internet connection.

Installing Coffalyser.Net without internet connection

The default installation procedure requires access to the internet to download and install Microsoft SQL Server. Your computer should also have the latest Windows updates and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 installed. You can only install Coffalyser.Net without an internet connection if all system requirements are already met, and if you already have an SQL Server.

Installing or prolonging a license

To activate your copy of Coffalyser.Net you have to install a free license. The license can be downloaded directly by Coffalyser.Net, but you can also manually retrieve it from your website account (see the Coffalyser.Net Installation Manual for more details). A similar procedure can be followed when you have to prolong your license.

Using Coffalyser.Net without internet connection

The properties of every probemix lot are stored in Coffalyser sheets. The sheets for all of our products are stored in the sheet library. It is important to periodically update the sheet library to get access to Coffalyser sheets for our latest products and to benefit from up-to-date information and warnings. Without an internet connection, you have to download a sheet library package from your website account on a different computer, transfer it to the computer that runs Coffalyser.Net, and import it into the software. This procedure is more elaborate than an update directly from our servers (see Appendix III of the Coffalyser.Net Reference Manual).
