Hi,
the activation of a donation update has the following problems when offline:
- When opening the key with usual text programs, it doesn't show up the correct fonts.
- When opening it with Registry, there's a mistake that it's not a correct file.
- It is not possible to drag the key data into the field.
- It is not possible to abort the installing process - therefore the program won't start anymore either (which is bad when you are travelling without internet and need to sync your files quickly)

You will need internet of some form to activate

tl;dr, a proper Offline Activation does not exist?

This is how basically every offline activation works, but correct
The process requires some kind of external communication, like Windows phone activations for example

If that's the case, donation users should be warned or prevented somehow from installing their updates without internet so they don't get "trapped" like this. Or simply be able to decline activating a donation key.
