articulate installs but can't login
HI,
I've had this installed on my former laptop (new laptop) and getting this error with articulate installed (haven't added storyline or other apps yet)
this gives me an error refused to connect.
netstat -an doesn't show it listening so i don't know what's wrong.
I'm using Windows 11 insider beta build so maybe i need to pass an argument to the installer to specify this?
Thanks
Hi Everyone!
Good news! I'm happy to share that we fixed the issue where you couldn't use your default browser to sign in to the Articulate 360 desktop app.
If you’re still experiencing this issue. Here’s how to fix it:
- Uninstall the previous software update (build 1.86.32028.0).
- Download the latest Articulate 360 desktop app here: https://360.articulate.com/downloads
- Go to where you downloaded the file (usually the Downloads folder), then right-click the articulate-360.exe file and choose "Run as administrator."
- Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app and sign in via your browser.
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm here to help!

I'm using Chrome (have been for years) and this is a new problem. I used Storyline fine last week but I'm getting the message "This site can’t be reached127.0.0.1 refused to connect." whenever I try to open a Storyline project and get forwarded to Articulate360 to force log in.
I had the same problem just today, on Windows 10. I was finally able to fully install the apps by doing the below. I'd suggest giving it a try.
1) Do not go to 360.articulate.com and click the link to the installer on the Articulate 360 site (bottom right hand side) - it takes you to a problematic URL, that doesn't connect.
2) Log out of the Articulate 360 site, bring a new window and type up https://360.articulate.com in the URL field; only then click the "Download desktop apps" button at the bottom right of the screen. This is what did it for me.
Hi,
Just circling back to this.
Any idea what's wrong here with the installer?
The installer completes clean but there's no articulate service running.
It starts with sign-in
This launches a browser which looks like it auth's off id.articulate.com/something
Then redirects to the running local service on the 127 address but netstat shows nothing listening on the port
So no matter which browser you use, it's won't make a difference since there's nothing for it to connect to.
Any idea when this can be fixed?
Alternatively can you provide an older installer version that worked before?
Thanks
Hi John!
Thanks for following up!
Reviewing other community members' support cases, it appears the issue is caused by a failed redirect, which our support engineers are looking into. It is mainly caused by using Microsoft Edge as the default browser, and switching default browsers usually sorts this out.
Please give the steps below a try:
1. Close out of the desktop app.
2. Open Chrome.
3. Set it as your default browser.
4. Log into the Articulate 360 desktop app.
5. Once logged in and Storyline is working, you can set the original browser back to the default.
If the issue persists, please ask your network admin to open port 443 and add the domains in this article to your organization's allowlist for your Articulate 360 apps to work properly. Also, if you are connected to a VPN, disconnect that as well.If still unsuccessful, please connect with our support engineers through a support case.
I can confirm chrome is the way to go.
Seems like an issue with edge.

Hello,
In regards to this. I've also came across this issue and as John said - It doesn't matter which browser you use as there is nothing to connect to.
Please let us know if there's a fix as I can't use any of your services from the app because of this.
ThanksHi Omer!
Sorry to hear you've also been affected by this issue!
I see that you've already opened a support case and connected with my colleague, Jan Lua. It looks like Jan Lua just replied to your e-mail sharing additional troubleshooting steps. I would suggest giving those a shot to see if that does the trick!
We can continue the conversation through your case to keep all information in one spot.
Try using chrome instead of Edge, I had issue a couple of days ago, but installed chrome and it then worked.
I am seeing exactly the same thing this morning...
Hi Paul!
Sorry to hear you've run into this setback! Glad to see Phil has been helping you!
I noticed that you've also opened a support case and connected with my colleague, Mick. Smart move! As you shared, this behavior was related to Windows Parallels and performing a re-install solved the issue. Great to hear!
If you run into any setbacks moving forward, please let us know. Have a great start to your week!
Hi John,
I'm sorry you've hit this snag when trying to log in! You may need to reach out to your IT team to check if the domains listed here are accessible on port 443.
If the issue persists, could I have you connect with us in a case so we can determine what's happening? We'll reach out soon after we hear from you.
