You have No permissionsSo everything is fine now --> installing while online. that's good/.

Mine i did not turn off internet connection just making sure that host block fully works before installation of the program. 
on top of that you may want to add host 127.0.0.1 license.cyberlink.com

if clrc.json under powerdirector18, edit with notepad and copy on first line in the notepad below this string , no spaces before and save it as CLRC.json under C:\ProgramData\CyberLink\CLRC\PowerDirector\18.0\
{"GlobalExpID":2362,"Variables":{"Piracy_Produce_Action":"none","Enable_BOOMERANG_FORCE_SEND":"0"},"RefreshDays":1}

yes, the universal codec activation for PDR18 (Perpetual) is a5f601e6, removing that manually will trigger reactivation of codecs, you can try it and it will prompt you for setup codecs. if you still cannot decode/encode 2/4k HEVC/MP4 , then ping me back i will send you the activated file. you just need to replaced that one on your existent file which i believe you can do it by using the keygen also. 

if you want to block olregsubmission from registration or disable localcheck server from checking key while opening the program which the user are not aware of it: these methods might help:

Under Navigate to C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector18\OLRSubmission

1.  Rename OLRsubmission.exe to bak or whatever filename
2.  Edit the ureg.ini of the file under this directory  , you will noticed the file product_Act entry is still onlinecheck --> change it to LocalServer then save it , this is protected so u need to save it in documents folder and replaced it back to C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector18\OLRSubmission

Addendum: Sorry i almost forgot this:
- Disable checking for updates in PDR ( Preference --> Internet --> Uncheck)
- You can just download the official updates in cyberlink website once it is available.

if you cannot overwrite it , rename the old ureg.ini to back first and save the new edited one to ureg.ini
No need to edit the cae.lcf  file if you installed the retail setup of the program.
Hope that helps ....

PS:  the PDR18 b2228 posted is a repack but main files are subscription type modified to ultimate. The official ultimate Perpetual version is still 190XXX  ,  Hotfix for this version taken from cybelink official forum. So please be wary
