Our offline version and regular version of TWS are the same platform. The only difference is the way that they update.
If you have a slower computer or Internet connection, we recommend that you use the offline (standalone) version of TWS.
- The offline requires that you manually update to newer versions of TWS.
- To use from multiple machines, you must install the offline separately on each machine, and you must set the TWS login setting to Use/store settings on server.
If you use the standard, non-offline versions, you can log in to TWS from any internet PC, and do not have to manually update to get the latest version. Both require that you install the minimum recommended version of Java.
