Hi All, I want to clarify about the answer in [this forum thread](https://community.dynatrace.com/post/71902). About this answer **“if Dynatrace is offline for more than 14 days, all monitored hosts will be disabled.”** is it still possible to work in offline mode for Dynatrace Managed? because my customer is worried when the server has internet access to Dynatrace Mission Control. Thanks, ---

This is not recommended and cannot be done from what I understand.

Hi Radoslaw, In this article mentioned **“Like Dynatrace Managed, you get all the same functionality and intelligence in our SaaS offering but not the automated support, so maintenance becomes a manual task. It’s important to note that to enable proper support for Managed Offline, we require updates to be downloaded manually.”** So when I install Dynatrace Managed in offline mode (no internet access on the server), basically the all functionality of Dynatrace Managed is fine ? just can’t connect to the Mission Control, and then I can’t get the automated support, and rerquire updates to be downloaded manually ? Thanks ---

Well yes. Additionally you don’t have access to public synthetic locations - but you can use private, and help chat.
