To run correctly, the 3DEXPERIENCE Launcher needs to be able to talk to other 3DEXPERIENCE Platform services locally on the machine. A wrong network proxy server setup can interfere if inaccurately configured.
Please make sure or ensure with your IT network administrator that, if you have a proxy, it is accurately setup to authorize local communications (See FAQ section for more information).
Finally, you can also verify that your network environment is fully compatible with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud by using the 3DEXPERIENCE Eligibility Checker tool.

In case your company has allowed the Network Path* Installation mode, you will have two installation modes available. If you are connected to your company’s internet network, we recommend to prefer the Network Path installation mode as it will be quicker. Else, if you are connected to any other internet network, choose the standard installation mode.
*Network Path installation mode is allowed when your company provides access to its users to a dedicated repository on its local network to store the 3DEXPERIENCE installation files.
