ArcGIS License Manager system requirements

The latest system and hardware requirements required to run ArcGIS License Manager are listed below. For information about earlier versions, see Esri Support.

Operating system requirements

The following satisfy the minimum operating system requirements:

Note:

ArcGIS License Manager requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2019 Redistributable (x64) minimum version 14.22.27821. Obtain the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015–2019 from the Microsoft site. If the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2019 Redistributable (x64) is not already installed, running setup.exe installs it before setup.msi is launched. Setup.msi will not install if Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2019 Redistributable (x64) is not already installed.

ArcGIS License Manager is only supported on 64-bit Windows and Linux operating systems.

Esri does not provide support for products installed on a developer's release of an operating system.

It is recommended to consult the online version of the License Manager System Requirements for the latest and most up-to-date information.

For information on licensing ArcGIS License Manager in the cloud, see the following PDF white paper: Licensing ArcGIS Desktop in Cloud Environments.

Note:

Prior and future updates or service packs on these operating systems are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.

Linux users:

Linux operating systems are only supported on Linux x86_64, on CPUs that adhere to the x86_64 architecture (64 bit), with supported Linux releases.

Machines with an underscore (_) in the name are not supported. The setup does not proceed if an underscore is detected in the machine name.

You cannot install the software as a root user.

You must re-create the folder manually with 777 permissions every time the system boots and before the FNPLicensingService daemon is started. For more information, see Technical-article 000021129.
