Soundly also works great in an offline environment, and an offline license is synced to your computer every time you go online. To enter offline mode, do the following.
Click **User** in the application menu bar.
Click **Offline mode**. You'll now have access to your indexed local sound effects.

For computers that are always offline, you can import an offline license file. You can either export this from Soundly running on a computer with an internet connection or get in touch with us, and we can generate a license for you.

To export an offline license:
* Go to **Settings**
* Click **Export Offline** license in the **Offline** area

To import an offline license:
* Go to **Settings**
* Click **Import Offline license** in the **Offline** area

When working in an offline environment, **Cloud Bridge for Offline Systems** might still help access our cloud library. Read more about Cloud Bridge [here](/faq/how-do-i-use-cloud-bridge/).
