Software activation usually requires a steady internet connection. However, engineering labs, secure military facilities, and industrial automation floors often operate inside isolated networks (air-gapped systems) for strict security reasons.
Before starting, gather the required credentials. You cannot generate offline codes without proof of ownership.

When a user attempts to activate LabVIEW offline, they are required to generate an activation code using the NI License Manager or by contacting NI support. This code is then entered into the LabVIEW software to complete the activation process. Offline activation provides an alternative to online activation, which requires a direct internet connection to verify the license and activate the software.

Codes are occasionally specific to 32-bit vs. 64-bit architectures in older NI deployment frameworks.
