You may be trying to install the Alteryx Designer or Server and receive an error saying: There was an error downloading "AlteryxInstallx64_VersionX.exe...."

This is due to a proxy blocking the data manager from installing the software.

DO NOT FEAR THE ANSWER IS HERE!

All you need to do is to install the Individual Installsof the Designer/Server/Predictive tools to circumvent the data manager GUI and you will be able to download the designer as normal.

  1. Navigate to licenses.alteryx.com
  2. Log on to the downloads portal
  3. Download the relevant installer .exe files.

*****Please remember to download the correct bit and admin/non-admin version for your machine!

Once the download has finished it will prompt you to finish and open the designer. This is when you can enter your license key and use Alteryx!

You should now use licenses.alteryx.com and login to our new licensing portal. 

 

IN here you will be able to click on Alteryx Designer > Then Alteryx Designer {Version Number} and then you will find the .exe mentioned above
