Try to open the TIBCO Spotfire Cloud Enterprise server URL in Internet Explorer. If it fails to reach the server URL, do the following?:

1) Open Internet Explorer

2) Open Internet Options

3) Select 'Advanced' tab

4) Scroll down to 'Security'

5) Enable 'Use TLS1.1' and 'Use TLS1.2'

6) Close Internet Explorer session

Start a new session of the TIBCO Spotfire Analyst Client and try to add the server URL again.
