DRM-free games generally do not have any license key (I’ve never seen one with it, but that’s anecdotal).

I’m not sure if an offline-only key check would be considered DRM; maybe is. Realistically such a check doesn’t do much, so what’s the point in including it. Back in the day it was often required to have one of the discs inserted to play—that is definitely DRM.
