ArcGIS 10.7 Prerelease, How to generate a licence file ?

Question

I have downloaded all the files for The PreRelease Arc GIS 10.7.

https://my.esri.com/#/downloads/ArcGIS%20Desktop%20Prerelease/10.7

When I go to install them, it asks for my licence file.

I looked online, and I found a way to generate a licence file for ArcGIS 10.6.1,

but not for this Prerelease.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Peace-

Kieran

Hi Keiran,

You should be able to get the authorization from My Esri, choose your kind of license, single or concurrent and the version (10.7).

Thanks for the quick response !

Well, I have Desktop, basic, single user.

I have unauthorized my prior versions.

I went to the Secure Site Operations site:

https://my.esri.com/#/activations/secure-site/complete

I got / generated a new licence file.

Entered it in the software authorization wizard.

It authorized all my 10.7 extensions, basically everything But ArcMap 10.7,

lol.

I cannot get 10.7 to start, as it keeps giving me an error message saying

"ArcGIS Desktop is not authorized for use" .

I have tried using ArcGIS administrator, clicking authorize now, and then

I have received an authorization file from ESRI, etc....

So, everything works excepting ArcMap, (grins, shakes head...)

Peace-

Kieran
