- Supplier Searches / Content Vault Part choices:
For communication between Altium Designer and Ciiva, verify that the following sites/ports are allowed:
api.ciiva.com:443 (https port)
ciiva.com:443
94.23.166.79:443 (https port)
vault.live.altium.com (http port)
partcatalog.altium.com
107.22.237.23 (http port)
23.23.115.137 (http port)
52.200.159.141 (http port)
Part Choices: Connects to the server http://partcatalog.webservice.altium.com
White-listing the following domain name addresses on your corporate server / firewall / antivirus, sometimes helps too because Altium Designer connects to Altium's servers on the following host:
- *.altium.com
- *.altium.eu
- *.altium.cn
- *.amazon.com
- *.amazonaws.com
- *.cloudfront.net
These three addresses need to be unblocked to use the online installer:
http://appregistry.live.altium.com
http://vaultinstallation.live.altium.com
http://vaultinstall.altium.com
- If the situation is not solved / Ports cannot be opened -
2,) OFFLINE INSTALLER
- Please do a fresh reinstallation with the offline installer:
