Question
In some cases it is desirable to remove the "From the Marketplace" as a location to download the client launcher when clicking on the "Open by Launcher" link on the ALM splash page
This applies to ALM 15.5 and higher
Answer
1) Stop the ALM service
2) Navigate to where ALM is deployed. Typically...
Windows: <drive>\ProgramData\Micro Focus\ALM\webapps\qcbin
Linux: /var/opt/ALM/webapps/qcbin
3) In the folder "qcbin" locate the file: Launcher_index.html
4) Open the file for editing
5) Locate the string: <div id="main_option_marketplace" class="main_option_subtitle main_option_subtitle_radio is_active">From Marketplace</div>
6) Comment the string so it appears like this: <!--<div id="main_option_marketplace" class="main_option_subtitle main_option_subtitle_radio is_active">From Marketplace</div>-->
7) Locate the string: <a id="download_link" class="move_on" href="https://marketplace.microfocus.com/appdelivery/content/alm-client-launcher">
8) Remove the string within the double-quotes (") so it appears like this: <a id="download_link" class="move_on" href="">
9) Save changes
10) Start the ALM service
