Why can I not create a new Perspective Project via Designer?

[mdemaris]

I've tried three times, just to make sure, to create a new project via the Designer Launcher. I get this error:

Here is what I did:

I have created several projects before and never seen this until yesterday.

EDIT:
So, I created a project via the Gateway, on the developer license. I made a few views, which I can see in the browser, but when I attempt to run a Named Query, I get this:

EDIT 2:
I restarted the Designer and got the query to work, but still cannot create a project in the Launcher.

The 403 sounds like the same underlying problem reported in this other thread:

Failed to create new project

Is this only when trying to use one of the template projects? Can you reach this URL? https://api.inductiveautomation.com/v2/ignition/projects And separately, can you download (in a web browser) the linked template projects? Might be something in your environment blocking those requests.

Can you download the individual project templates listed in the JSON response from that site in your web browser?

[mdemaris]

I posted a question in that thread on how to download and use the templates.

I have the same error when trying to create a new perspective project on both MAC OS and windows 11.
How do we fix this? is this a bug on latest?
