Help please, question about ERROR 000824: The tool is not license

Question

Hi, I need help doing a script using arcpy geoprocessing functions:

I know that for some extensions I wont be able to use those extensions geoprocessing
funtions (that is explained in http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002z0000000z000000.htm)

The thing is that I am getting the error 824 using any geoprocessing function, even the
functions included in the basic arcgis package (for example getcellvalue).

Is that normal behavior ? What can i do to work with those geofunctions that are not included into extensions (spatial analysts, tracking analyst,etc)

Thank you for you help !!!!
David

Thank you for your reply,I will post in the other forums.
By the way, getcellvalue is just ans example, I am getting the same problem with other geoprocessing functions too.

You'll probably get more and better answers in the appropriate forum: Geoprocessing or Spatial Analyst.

From your post, I'll toss out an uneducated guess; are you using the getcellvalue on a raster that isn't a multiband (aka an image)?  If so, my guess is you'll need to be licensed for the spatial analyst extension.
