Hi Sinchu,

You can still use SCORM Cloud, and I've copied the information below that's documented in this Support article. 

When uploading your Articulate Tin Can API content to SCORM Cloud, you may encounter the following message:

The given tincan.xml was incompatible with latest version of the Tin Can API specification. Error was: Activity ID 'xxxxxxxxxxx_course_id' is not an absolute URI

This is a parser warning related to the version of the Tin Can API spec being used. It won't affect your content and can be safely ignored.

I have no idea why it is not downloading


Hey Phil, when I convert my course package, the OP's error message still shows in Scorm Cloud.

Also the converted course gives the dreaded "Unable to connect to server" error part-way through, whereas that doesn't happen in the unconverted course.
