NinjaTrader.exe has always required an internet connection.
At the bare minimum, the internal startup sequence has always
connected to the license servers to confirm your license key.
Historically speaking, platform features are allowed/disallowed
based upon your license key, er, I mean, your user account.
The equivalent of 'confirming your license key' is now encapsulated
by the user account login process.
If by 'Offline' you mean 'no internet connection is required' -- which
means you don't need to verify the user account credentials, well,
that would certainly be a new thing.
I doubt that will ever happen.

When it can't contact the licensing server, you lose the live trading capability and any other optional features that not every license has (since these cannot be verified without internet), but it is perfect for optimizations and research work. So, no, it has not always required an internet connection. That was never needed just to start the platform until 8.1 - but obviously, you can't trade live or use features that are not provisioned by default without internet (since it cannot contact the licensing server) so what we have lost is the ability to start up and work offline which we have had for almost twenty years.
