Hi all,
I'm facing an issue whenever DataminerCube.exe is executed locally, the following message is returned:
"Something went wrong: Error downloading client version 10.2.2243.2066". The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable"
Ports 80, 443 and 8004 are open.
Someone who has an idea what is causing this?

A few things you could try:
In a web browser, are you able to open the web interface when surfing to the hostname/IP of the DMA? If not, does doing the same on the DMA server by opening http://localhost/ show more information?
Are there any errors in Windows Event Viewer?
Did you already restart IIS (iisreset) or even Windows?

Surfing succeeds when I’m on the servers for both cases. When I try to do this locally only https://IP is working.
Restart didn’t work either.

Regarding the event viewer, there was some error message for SLNetCom). I’m not sure if it’s related to this problem:
(SLNetCOM SLDataMiner.exe) Failed to connect to SLNet: (Code: 0x80070005) Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Exceptions.DataMinerSecurityException: Unable to authenticate as current Windows user —> System.Exception: Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.

Firewall was blocking access through http and https at customer end.
After giving permission the cube launcher was able to start up correctly.
