Sequencher 4.1.4 — Portable

Modern scientific software often "phones home" for license validation, usage analytics, or auto-updates. For researchers working in air-gapped environments (secure government labs, submarines, Antarctic stations) or those paranoid about their unpublished sequence data leaking, the portable version’s complete network isolation is a feature, not a bug.
