Subscription Limits
Verified with Windows 11 25H2 — updated on July 23, 2026
Supported on: Only Internet Explorer 5.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0
Path in the GPO console
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Offline Pages Description
Restricts the amount of information downloaded for offline viewing. If you enable this policy, you can set limits to the size and number of pages that users can download. If users attempt to exceed the number of subscriptions, a prompt will appear that states that they cannot set up more Web sites for offline viewing. If you disable this policy or do not configure it, then users can determine the amount of content that is searched for new information and downloaded. Caution: Although the Maximum Number of Offline Pages option determines how many levels of a Web site are searched for new information, it does not change the user interface in the Offline Favorites wizard. Note: The begin and end times for downloading are measured in minutes after midnight. The Maximum Offline Page Crawl Depth setting specifies how many levels of a Web site are searched for new information.
