Question on download version

[krmiller]

Not sure if this is where I should ask this but there doesn't seem to be any way to contact Gamer's Front people.
I have the 10.1 disk version, have a friend I've been playing wargames with for 40 years who I installed the free version for a long time ago, he's not very pc savvy.
He's moving to his summer home now that his wife has retired and won't have internet access for his pc there, got a new computer and wanted me to put WinSPWW2 on it for him.
I was thinking of ordering him the disk version only to find out it's only available in download version. Most downloads I've purchased require internet access to register and use them. Wanted to know if the WinSPWW2 download version does, if not then I'll order him one, copy the file to a jump drive and install it when I go up for a visit. If it does I was thinking I could uninstall my disc version and purchase the download for myself and give him my disc.
