Activate License Offline with Alteryx Analytics Cloud
You can activate Alteryx Designer and Server version 2025.1 and later offline with Alteryx Analytics Cloud using a file.
Tip
This license activation option requires the end user to complete the activation process.
Activate License Offline (File Activation)
As an alternative to online activation, you can submit a request for an activation (BIN) file, upload the request (REQ) file to Alteryx Analytics Cloud, and then use the BIN file to activate license keys on your computer. A separate license key is required for each product.
To activate Alteryx on a computer that is offline, you must have access to Alteryx Analytics Cloud on another computer so that you can upload the request (REQ) file.
If you want to activate with a file, select Activate with File to open the Alteryx Offline Activation window.
Create Request (REQ) File from Offline Computer
Open Alteryx Designer. If the Alteryx Designer Activation window does not open automatically, select Options > Manage Licenses. When the window opens, select Activate New License.
Select Activate Offline at the very bottom of the window.
In the Offline Activation window, select the With a Cloud License tab.
Select Create to create a request (REQ) file to request product activation.
The file explorer opens. Select a destination, enter a file name, and select Save.
Alteryx creates a request file.
Copy the request (REQ) file where it can be accessed from Alteryx Analytics Cloud or send the file to your license administrator.

You can close the window.

On the offline computer, browse to the activation file you created in the previous step. This file must be accessible to the offline computer. If you sent the file to the offline computer, you can search for capabilityresponse.bin file to locate it.
