Upgrading to ArcGIS 10.7.1
- The ArcGIS 10.7.1 setup package is designed to detect and upgrade an existing installation of the same ArcGIS product. The settings for the installation location and authorization information are retained during the upgrade. See the installation guide for more information on installation upgrades and new installations.
- Existing ArcGIS 10.1–10.7 authorization numbers will work with ArcGIS 10.7.1.
- ArcGIS 10.7.1 for Single Use—If ArcGIS 10.7.1 will be installed on a machine that is different from where an earlier ArcGIS 10.x product is currently installed and you want to use the existing ArcGIS 10.1–10.7 authorization number for ArcGIS 10.7.1, the earlier version of an ArcGIS 10.x product must first be deauthorized before authorizing ArcGIS 10.7.1.
Obtaining software authorization numbers
If needed, your account's primary maintenance contact can obtain authorization numbers from My Esri. After signing in with your Esri Account, click My Organizations > Licensing > View Authorizations. Click a product name to obtain its authorization number.
The license version on authorizations eligible for use with ArcGIS 10.7.1 will display as 10.1–10.7.1 under View Authorizations. For those outside the United States, contact your local distributor for information about your authorization numbers.
