License Manager Guide

ArcGIS License Manager system requirements

  • Operating system requirements
  • Hardware requirements

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

Operating system requirements

The following satisfy the minimum operating system requirements:

Note:

ArcGIS License Manager requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64) minimum version 14.38.33130 or greater to proceed. To download and install this redistributable, please contact your system administrator.

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, refer to the following PDF white paper: Licensing ArcGIS Desktop in Cloud Environments.

Note:

* Windows Server 2025 Standard and Datacenter under evaluation, but not supported at the time of release.

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.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server (64-bit) requirements

The Linux patches for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server (64-bit) are supported as long as they are from RHEL Linux without modification to the kernel/glibc version.

The following packages are required:

RHEL Server 8

The following packages are required:

  • bzip2-libs.x86_64
  • redhat-lsb-core.x86_64
  • fontconfig.x86_64
  • freetype.x86_64
  • libX11.x86_64
  • libXau.x86_64
  • libxcb.x86_64
  • libXdamage.x86_64
  • libXext.x86_64
  • libXrender.x86_64
  • libXtst.x86_64
FNP
  • fuse.x86_64
  • fuse-libs.x86_64

Caution:

Important note:

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server 8 systems, a directory named var/run/FNP is required. However, this folder is removed during a reboot of the system. 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, refer to Technical-article 000021129.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server (64-bit) requirements

The Linux patches for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server (64-bit) are supported as long as they are from RHEL Linux without modification to the kernel/glibc version.

The following packages are required:

RHEL Server 9

The following packages are required:

  • fontconfig.x86_64
  • freetype.x86_64
  • libX11.x86_64
  • libXau.x86_64
  • libxcb.x86_64
  • libXdamage.x86_64
  • libXext.x86_64
  • libXrender.x86_64
  • libXtst.x86_64
FNP
  • fuse.x86_64
  • fuse-libs.x86_64

Caution:

Important notes:

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server 9 systems, a directory named var/run/FNP is required. However, this folder is removed during a reboot of the system. 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, refer to Technical-article 000021129.

If configuring Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server 9 system using the shell script to configure FlexNet licensing:

  1. Navigate to <installation_path>/arcgis/licensemanager/licensingservice
  2. Run install_fnp.sh . This shell script configures the FlexNet licensing service executable to run as a root-privilege setuid process. If installing on RedHat 9, install_fnp.sh should be run with the "- -nolsb" flag. For example,install_fnp.sh - -nolsb
  3. The FlexNet licensing service daemon needs to run continuously. Therefore, a further installation step is required to ensure it is started a boot time. Because the FlexNet licensing service daemon does not need to run with root privilege, it can be started by adding the following line to a nominated user's crontab (In the case of ArcGIS License Manager 2025.0): @reboot /usr/local/share/FNP/service64/11.19.7/FNPLicensingService -r 2>&1 >/tmp/fnpd.log
