This file can be saved, copied and backed-up as required. The .alf file is reusable on a home computer (in accordance with the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.altium.com/eula" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">EULA</a>) simply by copying the file to a specific folder on that computer and then adding the file as part of Standalone License Configuration.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The software also uses Internet connections for some non-licensing purposes, for example, to load the Home page, to use Vault components, or search for Supplier Links.
