I am working on moving my old Armory cold storage wallet to Sparrow.

I have online Armory 96.5 with an offline "watching only" wallet.
The wallet balance shows as expected with Bitcoin Core running in the background.
On a separate, air gapped PC (no internet), I have Armory 96.2 installed.
It shows the offline wallet names as expected.

From the online Armory, I do a send transaction from the offline wallet, and I export an unsigned file successfully to a thumb drive to import into the offline Armory.
On the air gapped computer, I choose "Offline Transactions", then "Sign Offline Transaction", and I load the unsigned file from the thumb drive.
The problem is the "Sign" button never lights up, so I can't sign the transaction.

Any thoughts?

Only thing I can think of now is updating the offline wallet to the latest version, 96.5 to see if it recognizes the raw transaction inputs then. If you still want to keep it permanently offline, you can download the latest version on an online device and then remotely transfer that to the offline one, then restore the seeds on it. I hope this helps you out.

1. Have you checked the wallet ids match?
2. Inspect the unsigned tx from your offline instance. Does it recognize the origin and/or destination address?

I updated the offline PC to Armory 96.5, and now the "Sign" button does light up.
I was able to sign the transaction, woohoo!

It appears the problem is solved.
Hopefully no other glitches before I migrate my two wallets completely.

Thank you un_rank and goatpig both for your suggestions !

Likely the issue was the destination address. 0.96.2 does not support bech32 outputs.
