Is desktop automation for designer being discontinued?

I'm being told that alteryx designer with automation is legacy and is no longer being listed on the website as being offered. If this is the case and we are forced to move our small group of  3 designers and 1 automation to alteryx server, as is being suggested, then i'm concerned we will be priced out of using Alteryx. I'm just looking for confirmation that is is either being discontinued or i'm just not understanding correctly. Please don't force very small installs to move to server just to schedule some workflows.

We heard today w/Alteryx that no renewal beyond June 2023.   Also, EOL for automation would end of CY2023.    If anyone hears differently, please share.

Have Alteryx offered alternatives to server for desktop automation?

The only alternative provided is purchasing a Server license, so no, no alternatives provided.

When I talked with my customer representative they mentioned that current users can still renew their licenses. They will not sell new licenses moving forward to new customers.

Thanks for sharing that.   Frustrating that we're getting a different answer.   We will re-engage on this with Alteryx and confirm.   We currently have a license.

We renewed the scheduler (3 installs) for another year in Jan 23' so will have to see what comes towards the end of the year. Agree it's frustrating to not get a clear answer and that Alteryx sales practices seems hesitant to understand the use case based on the scale of the deployment to offer the best solution.

talking out both sides of their mouths.   Absolutely would not renew us.   talking with KNIME.

Frustrating. Definitely exploring Knime as an alternative
