I installed Pro/E locally on my laptop -- in fact, the schools edition provided must be installed locally -- and have had no trouble running it at all, even without an internet connection.

Pro/E itself will be installed and run locally, but Windchill is a hosted content management solution, so in this case, it's hosted out on the internet by PTC. You wouldn't be able to get to it from within your site, it seems.
