Yeah, Alibre does actually need to phone home for the regular licence. But you can get an "Offline Licence" that doesn't need to phone home... I think there is a summary of that in the licenses page of the website.
If you can't connect to the Interwebs for security reasons go to this page and look for the Lifetime - Offline Licence

License library failed to initialize is not typically the result of failure to 'phone home' - was there any numeric error code along with that message? Probably best to contact support.
Standard on-line activation licences can operate for up to 30 days without 'phoning home'. Off-line licences incur extra charges, they also have some downsides regarding flexibility and are also not available for Atom3D.

No code. I'm trying to make 3 minutes of changes to a drawing and print a copy. Dead in the water......again.

Now I see an error code 3016. Connection is solid, computer might be the issue. Thanks...
From Nalpeiron documentation
A -3016 error is caused by a system directory on the machine being mis-set, pointing to a non-existent directory, having permissions problems, or something similar.
There is more than the line I quoted, but I don't think it actually helps!.
One thing we do see from time to time - Windows silent updates, and also virus scans, can limit access if running in the background. It can be worth looking at Task Manager to see if activity is unexpectedly high.
If this happens to a particular machine, a re-install might be worth trying (when you are not under time pressure).
Many licensing problems can be fixed by deleting the local licence files and then re-activating.
Support can provide further assistance if needed.
