ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager

Introduction

The copy protection mechanism for ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop and ArcGIS 10.1 Engine Concurrent Use product lines has been updated to use the FlexNet Publisher v11.10 software. This update requires that ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager is installed. The ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager includes the following enhancements:

  • Selective deauthorization control. Individual products and quantities can now be deauthorized.
  • Improved license usage visibility.
  • Force check-in consumed licenses.
  • License upgrade tools.
  • Single-trip offline authorization.
  • Ability to host ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1 licenses on the same License Manager.

Migration: Using the old and new versions of ArcGIS License Manager simultaneously

ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager will support hosting 10.0 licenses. It is not necessary to install 10.1 License Manager on a second machine to facilitate migration between 10.0 and 10.1 licenses. This is achieved by uninstalling ArcGIS 10.0 License Manager and installing ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager. This will cause a minimal disruption to users during the migration.

To avoid disrupting your production environment during the upgrade to ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager, you can set up 10.1 License Manager on a second machine. This will allow your existing ArcGIS concurrent use products to continue working while you complete the upgrade. Once the upgrade is completed, any older versions of the license manager must be uninstalled and users directed to the new license manager.

If using the options file on License Manager 10.0, this must be copied to the equivalent installation directory for ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager.
