Will it work without access to internet (off line)?

The always-online requirement that had been introduced in Roon 2.0 was reverted with an update in February 2024:

@enno

In 2022, we introduced an internet connectivity requirement to Roon. That decision was driven by strategic considerations, but we acknowledge that the change caused genuine dissatisfaction among our users, and we understand why. Today, we’re announcing a return to Roon’s pre-2.0 behavior. This means our users can once again enjoy their music collections without the need for continuous internet connectivity.

However:

• If offline, features are limited. You can simply try it out by disconnecting your router from the internet.
• In any case, it must be online once within a 30 day period for a license check.

@flop74

Will extension such as RooExtend run off line as well?

I don’t know, the extension is a third-party product. @DrCWO?
