How to install two versions of Designer on the same machine
Is it possible to have multiple versions of Designer on one machine?
It is possible to have two installations of Designer installed on the same machine concurrently. This can be useful if you need to build workflows on multiple versions (for example, if your co-workers are on a previous version), to test out new features in more recent versions, or for troubleshooting purposes.
Prerequisites
*Important note for users who wish to install 20.4: You will need to reinstall python-based tools due to a python upgrade in version 20.4. Workflows using these python-based tools may only run in the 20.4 version of Designer once the tools are reinstalled. If you have two version installed, they may not run in the install that isn’t based on Python 3.8 (Alteryx versions older than 20.4).
Procedure
It's possible to have one Admin version and one Non-Admin version of Designer installed on the same machine simultaneously. To install another version of Designer, follow these steps.
Non-Admin | Admin |
2. Proceed with the installation of the other option by downloading either Admin or Non-Admin Designer from the Alteryx License Portal.
