Alteryx Designer license activation

[MadhavTR]

Is there a separate license for Alteryx designer license on Server and personal computer?

I have a client who tried activating the designer on server and got an error saying "The license key is invalid for server or virtual environments."

Do they need another license to activate designer on the server?

When you mean "Server", is that referring to Alteryx Server or a Server OS?

• If it is Alteryx Server, then no need to activate a designer. Alteryx Server includes a designer in the install for ease of use (This is not a documented purchased item, but would be a hassle without it, so has always been included).
• If it's just a ServerOS, then Yes, the user will need to talk to their rep to get the license activated for ServerOS. Alteryx Designer is a named user desktop license, and is therefore not designed to be installed on ServerOS. There are exceptions, and the user will need to state the reasoning, but from there shouldn't be too much hassle as long as license terms are not being breached. I don't see this changing as the move to Alteryx One will rule out this "Issue".
