When a computer with Petra installed is not connected to the internet you can use another computer to access the EMS and download a license file (lservrc.zip). To do this you will need:

Sentinel EMS URL	https://softwarelicensing.ihsmarkit.com/ems/customerLogin.html
EID	Included in the Entitlement Certificate email
