Setting the software product and license environment

  • Concurrent use
  • Single use

ArcGIS Desktop (Desktop Advanced, Desktop Standard, and Desktop Basic) and ArcGIS Engine can be used as either concurrent use or single use seats if the required licenses are available on your computer. ArcGIS Administrator is used to switch between these product levels and license environments.

Note:

Administrator rights on the computer are required to change the license manager or the software product. If you do not have administrative rights, the following user environment variable can be created to set a license manager:

ARCGIS_LICENSE_FILE = @<licensemanager>

Concurrent use

  1. Using ArcGIS Administrator, click the desired product folder (Desktop or Engine).
  2. Click the button next to the concurrent use product you wish to use.
  3. Under License Manager (for Concurrent Use software products): click Change, enter the name of your license manager, then click OK.
  4. Click Apply to set your changes without closing ArcGIS Administrator or OK to apply changes and close ArcGIS Administrator.

Single use

  1. Using ArcGIS Administrator, click the desired product folder (Desktop or Engine).
  2. Click the button next to the single use product you wish to use. If you have not previously authorized the single use product you intend to use, follow the instructions below.
  3. Click Authorize Now to launch Software Authorization Wizard. To complete this process, you will need either a provisioning file (*.respc) generated from the My Esri website, or the email from Esri Customer Service that contains your product authorization information.
  4. Follow the instructions in Software Authorization Wizard to complete the authorization process and return to ArcGIS Administrator.
  5. Click Apply to set your changes without closing ArcGIS Administrator or OK to apply changes and close ArcGIS Administrator.

If you wish to remove single use licenses from your machine, go to Support Operations and click Deauthorize. Follow the instructions to remove the core product and any selected extensions from your machine.
