Licensing and Offline Use

ArcGIS Pro Licensing

Single

Named

User

Concurrent

Use

Licensing ArcGIS Pro

• Software can be downloaded from MyEsri

• Licensing is managed though a portal

• ArcGIS Pro only runs at the level and extensions granted by Administrator

• ArcGIS Pro can work offline for field work

- Still tied to named-user

Managed in your portal

• Access controlled by Named User

• Organization Admin can:

- Grant access by User, Group or Role

- Control product level and extension

- Re-assign access as needed

- Know who is using what and when

Recommendation

• Use Enterprise Logins (Single Sign On)

- Easier user management

- Less instructions for students

- Challenge:

- Can’t assign ArcGIS Pro license until user logs in

Key Concepts

When Managing Licenses

• Organization Management

- Groups

- Custom Roles

Before you Pro

• Plan how you will organize your users before you begin

• Utilize the tools already available to you in ArcGIS Online

Offline Licensing

• License file is saved to the local machine

• To check the license back, make sure you are signed to the licensing portal

Licensing Resources

• FAQ: Common Questions About Licensing

• Field Guide to ArcGIS Pro Licensing

Hardware

System Requirements

• Hardware and Platforms

• Run ArcGIS Pro system

requirements test

• ArcGIS Pro and Virtualization

• Consider: Switch Rendering Engine

- DirectX

- OpenGL

Not enough job market demands

No time to update existing course
