I got 1 year licence for Designer and i just started learning. I have an issue with a course getting started. From the beginning not the whole content appears. It happens when a presenter tells to do specific action, for instance - drop something onto the canvas, click metadata and when i expect next steps, it pauses and only thing i can do is going to a next topic or play again same fragment. Or maybe i am missing something, some resources?

Hi, I signed up as a self learner for a SparkED license for 90 days. I have thankfully earned the Core Certification and loving the software. Such a nicer and more professional way of working on data files as you can add comments etc throughout the workflows. According to the SparkED Q&A Independent Learners who earn their Alteryx Core certification during their first license period can renew it for another 90 days. My question is do I have to renew it for the 90days when it the license expires and attempt the advanced certification or can I wait until next year and get the 90 days to work on the Advanced level certification then? Will be grateful for any advise from the community Thanks

Hello SparkED learners in academia,
As of August 21, 2024, the process for requesting your Designer Desktop license has changed slightly. Below is an outline of the process you can expect when requesting your license.
Step 1: Get Verified.
Start your Designer Desktop license request by navigating to alteryx.com/sparked/learning-programs/students and clicking the ‘Start Learning’ button. This will require you to provide some information to verify that you are a student at an academic institution.
Step 2: Request your License
Once you have been verified as an student at an academic institution, you will receive two emails.
The first email will come from SheerID acknowledging that you have been verified.
The second email will come from no_reply@alteryx.com. This email will request that you complete a required form that will provide us with more information about your planned usage and course(s). Fill out the required form to finalize your license request.
Note: For your Course Code/ Course Name please list the courses and codes where you plan to use Alteryx in the current semester.
Step 3: Activate your License
Next, a license key will be sent to your email inbox. It may take up to 3 business days to receive your license key after submitting the form. (Be sure to check your spam/junk folders.)
Follow the activation directions outlined in your license email.
Please comment below with any questions you may have about the new process.
