    Hello,

    after upgrading from 2017.2, I cant do anything right now. When opening a project or even when creating a new one, the package manager times out while trying to start some kind of server (why does it need one at all??)

    after a reboot of windows, it was working for a single time.

    Ive killed all processes which seem to be related to unity, looked up the ports, used by the server, but they are free too.

    Hi. On my side, I can't download any licence key from Unity website (because I'm using Unity in offline). Maybe it's related and Unity server have problems ? :(

    I have the same problem as poisonnuke. Updatet 2017.2 to 2017.3 and getting a timeout
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. [Package Manager] Server::Start -- Port 64583 was selected
    3. [Package Manager] Server::EnsureServerProcessIsRunning -- ReadyRequest exceeded maximum alloted time, ran for [10] seconds
    4. [Package Manager] Server::Kill -- Server was shutdown
    5. [Package Manager] PackageManager Server::Start -- Process restart attempt #3
    6.  
    Whats wrong?

    Okay, downgrad to 'UnityDownloadAssistant-2017.2.0f3.exe' works fine for me. Sad that there are no reply from unity support :(
    May be the issue fixed some day, nobody knows

    Hello,
    We are aware of some people behind firewalls that are having issues starting Unity 2017.3.0f3 because of the package manager. Please take a look at the FAQ here to get a workaround: https://answers.unity.com/answers/1436360/view.html
    We are working on an emergency patch 2017.3.0p1 which will address the issue.
    Thanks for your understanding.
