I just purchased the hardware and got a link to download the software, but it only loads a small portion of it and requires internet access to load.
Does anyone know how I can get the full copy of the software, as my home automation computer does not have internet access.
And besides I want to keep a copy in case I loose it or need to install on another computer.
Thanks

I don't believe there is a full installation file.
From the first day AHP and the CM15A was released. You needed Internet access to get the program. X10 use to have that note somewhere on the sales page.
Since you are not alone in this situation. There maybe someone who has a workaround and can give you more details.
FAQ for AHP says Internet only.

If you ask customer support very nicely they'll email you the installation files. Then you can throw them on a stick disc or CD and copy them to your HA computer.
You'll still have trouble with registration as I think it needs to access the X10 servers for verification.

Surely you can purchase a cheap NIC card - even an ethernet-only one - to get the registration done.

I don't know if this will help, but go to http://www.x10.com/register/download.htm and follow the information there to get a new download of AHP.
