Product Name: Alteryx Desktop Automation

[kalash47]

Can someone please explain to me what exactly is this separate product license, and how it differs from from the Alteryx Designer license?
What is the use case? I am unable to create/run a WF with the Automation license. 

Does it not work on Desktop Designer? If not, what tool does it operate on?

Can't find a lot of information regarding this.

Cheers!

Hi @kalash47 

This article may help. As far as I know desktop automation is no longer actively available outside of grandfathered organizations and special situations. It allows you to schedule workflows locally rather than using Alteryx Server.
