Can't Sign In - Session Expired

Jan 02, 2020

Every time I try to open Storyline, I get an Articulate 360 Sign In. When I enter my credentials, I get this error:

Your session has expired. Please refresh your browser to sign in.

I try again to log in and get the same error.

I'm not in a browser.  I rebooted and get the same message.

Hello Aaron and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Thanks for sharing the version numbers. It looks like your team member is relatively up-to-date.

We have a trouble-shooting document, which you can find here, that helps with common issues signing in. 

If they are still running into difficulty, please have them contact our support team directly so that we can dig in a bit deeper and get them back up and running successfully.

Hi Articulate,

I am getting the same issue. I can get to the main Articulate dashboard, but as soon as I click on "Rise," it says "session expired" and "your computer is offline."

Can you please assist with this? I am on a tight deadline to finish and publish 3 courses tomorrow, so I really need to get access to the tool today.

Having the SAME problem that you've seem to been having for quite some time and it needs to be fixed. It is problematic to see the same issue in this forum that have been going on for years. I just logged in yesterday and the app was updated just last week. Solve this. Now. We pay a lot for this subscription model you've implemented and don't expect this kind of nonsense.

as this issue was never resolved - despite we are updating the Storyline regularly...

If everything works - starting SL 360 by double clicking on desktop icon is all that it is needed.

If it doesnt work (and it is happening - on random case.. either my comp is running for days or just freshly started).. and I get the SL360error that I need to sign in.. clicking Sign in and then logging in (with correct credentials) doesnt work.. I then close SL, open Articulate 360 launcher (where all Articulate apps are).. login (here it works).. and then restart SL 360 by double clicking icon on desktop

This is how I am able to start (and use) SL.

Hi Sebastjan!

Thank you for sharing your troubleshooting steps! We are going to find a solution!

Not being able to sign in is an error we need to investigate further. Is it possible for you to screenshot the error message you're receiving? 

It would be best to bring in our Support Engineers aboard as well. Can you share the screenshot with us by using this link?
