Step 1: Wait and try again later.

Ensure that you have first cleared the Download Data Cache (See instructions above).

Please make sure that you are connected to internet and try again later. This issue has been intermittent in some cases and downloaded properly after not downloading in an earlier attempt.

Step 2: Check Installed Internet Security or Antivirus software

Ensure that you have first cleared the Download Data Cache (See instructions above).

Certain option in your Internet Security / Antivirus software may potentially cause problems downloading.

In one specific case with “G Data Internet Security 2013”, one user was able to download after disabling the "Web protection" option in this software. If you are using G Data Internet Security 2013, try disabling this option. If you are using other Internet Security software, look for similar option.

Note: You can re-enable any settings you disabled once Studio 16 is fully installed.
