I don't want to combine desktop licenses with pro licenses on the license server.
i would prefer they stay separate.
thank you!
Yes. ArcGIS Pro CU licenses will be different from ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) licenses, even though both can be hosted from the same ArcGIS License Manager.
For more details, read Concurrent Use licenses—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
You must install ArcGIS License Manager 10.5.1 or later to manage ArcGIS Pro 2.0 Concurrent Use licenses.
Thank you!
Jayanta:
Would you have a screenshot of what the LM looks like when hosting both ArcMap and Pro concurrent use licenses?
This is what LM 10.5.1 currently looks like when just hosting ArcMap licenses, so I'm looking for a comparison. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Here's what ours looks like:
Thanks for the screenshot. How is your transition from ArcMap to Pro going (e.g. Have you been able to convert 50% of your workflow to Pro, just an example)?
Hi Michael, I work in the IT department of a US County, for some background. Right now, we just have our power users in the departments using Pro, so just a small handful. Most people use a web application to view layers. For those who use ArcMap, the issue is getting them better, 64 bit PCs to be able to run Pro. In regard to our workflows, we need it to be able to work with the Parcel Fabric, but other than that, after lots of practice, I've gotten used to using it. Not sure about other departmental workflows. We are working on implementing Portal, though it's already great how it interacts with ArcGIS Online. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Chelsea:
Does your org just use Concurrent Use licensing for Pro? If so, were you entitled to the same number of Concurrent Use licenses for Pro as you had for ArcMap without paying additional money for Pro Concurrent Use licenses as compared to the cost for ArcMap Concurrent Use licenses?
This page has a good FAQ related to your questions. Frequently asked questions—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop Not sure what your situation is, but note that: "the Concurrent Use License type is available only to customers who already have Concurrent Use licenses of ArcGIS Desktop current on maintenance."
Not that this is my situation, but can an org that is new to GIS request to use ArcMap instead of Pro so in the future they would be able to switch to the concurrent use licensing scheme from the default named user licensing scheme if they choose to work with Pro?
I would double check with an ESRI rep, but my understanding is that they grandfathered in people with current Concurrent Use licenses to be able to use them with Pro and that new people wouldn't be able to do that. If a new organization bought ArcMap licenses, they are ArcGIS Desktop Licenses, so they would be getting Pro with ArcMap anyways even if they don't want to use it yet.
