Last version of Illustrator that "just works"?

Hello, does anyone know which would be the last version of Illustrator for Mac that is fully offline and does not have any issues with hosts files, randomly getting locked, randomly crashing, not opening, phoning home, deactivating itself and does not require blocking with lulu or anything else?

It does not need to be the latest version, could be 2022, 2021, 2020 or even older.

I am installing it on someone else's computer and every single version i tried so far just stops working for a variety of reasons after a while, even with all firewall blocks and hosts files. I cant keep having to "fix" this for them every couple weeks, i need something that is really permanent so they stop bothering me lol.
