Sorry, but there is no offline option available.
We understand that there might be an issue with your internet connection/speed/quality. Or, that your organization is not able to provide internet access to the Lumion users' PC.
We highly recommend using the online Installer. If that is absolutely not possible, then here's some suggestions.
Create your own copy of the installer - offline:
All we can suggest is doing something like keeping the version downloaded and do not delete it until the next (minor) release. Once the full installation has been completed, it does not self-delete the installation files.
Store the files on a local server, other drive or USB stick. You can then use that for any PC install.
The location of the Installer files needs to be writeable.
The Download Manager/Installer will always go through a verification of the files and update any as needed so you know you have the most recent for that version.
Noting that once Lumion is installed on a PC then there are no further steps needed.

Important:
Time flies by and it's easy to get out of sync with releases.
So if you choose to do something like this, then please make sure you are always keeping the current version.
Updater System:
Lumion has an Updater system, since 2023, where once installed, any minor version changes are done via quick, small file downloads and installed directly to the PC where Lumion is already installed. In most cases it's just a few minutes to do an Update:

This process does require an internet connection.
It's important that users be kept up-to-date to ensure the best experience, new features and support for current issues resolved. The Updater makes it easy and direct to each user PC.
Sometimes with a new major version, there may however, be a full installation required.
What that means is that apart from holding your own copy of a version, any subsequent releases are easily managed on the local PC.
Where that is not possible, then you need to run the Installer for the most recent version form your Lumion Account so you keep up-to-date.
