snowsql -a XXXXXXX -u YYYYYY
Installing version: 1.2.17  [####################################]  100%
snowsql bootstrap could not verify the signature for the downloaded file. This snowsql command is not legitimate code. Enable the debug log -o log_level=DEBUG.
Failed to download snowsql. Check network connectivity: 1.2.17

I think it's because SnowSQL is trying to automatically update to the latest version but the signature file is still from the installed version.

In your config file under options, add noup=True (default is false which means update when available), and try again. Haven't tested this, but I think you can also add an option on the launch like this:

snowsql -a XXXXXXX -u YYYYYY --noup

Based on Nick's answer, this seems like a bug so let's hope we don't see these errors going forward.

Open cmd as administrator. Execute the command: snowsql --noup Close the window and now run snowsql as administrator. It should open, show a bunch of options and close automatically. Your snowsql should run fine now.

Snowflake reviewed the issue and found that the signature file was incorrect. It has been replaced with a correct signature file and you should not see this issue going forward.
