As the topic states, the offline key not working for this title. My offline key works for all other trainers I am using. The trainer will authenticate if connected. The problem, is I am stuck in a hotel for two weeks and the internet connection is $12/day. It appears as if this trainer is different, as it contains advertisements with site links, so I am not sure if that is part of the problem or not.

It's a different trainer template. Your AV, firewall or other security software might be blocking the trainer from reading the key. Also, internet/network access has to be completed absent/disabled.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unplugging from the internet alone wasn't enough. I had to manually disconnect from the wireless also and it worked. I appreciate the help.
