Why am I getting a 000824 when running model builder?

RyanHowell1

I am using ArcGIS 10.2, using a model to use the extract by mask tool multiple times. When I run the model, it runs through all of my tools and has the 000824 error for each one (tool is not licensed). The box is checked under extensions for Spatial Analyst.​ How do I clear this error and run my model?

(EDITED - just checked this and it doesn't work the way I remembered.)

When your model is seen as a tool it should check for the Spatial Analyst extension and you'll see a "lock" on the tools if the license isn't available.

Your model won't run from ArcMap if you try without extension not turned on; you'll get this popup:

I'm guessing you may be running the tool from ArcCatalog and haven't checked the box there?

If you are running the model from a Python script you would need to check out the extension in your Python script first with arcpy.CheckOutExtension(). Interestingly with 10.2.2 I'm getting a different error number.
