ArcGIS Pro DSC Licensing

JulianInskip1

Hi @CameronKroeker.

When installing and licensing ArcGIS Pro using the DSC, if I run the InstallLicense again when updating with the installation of a new patch, the licensing part is run again. Will this use/checkout another license in the backend of Esri's licenses or does it make use of the same license already checked out/authorized?

Hi @julian_svcs,

We have added the ability to pass in individual single use pro license files per node starting in v4.2.0.

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc/releases/tag/v4.2.0

Here is an example:

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-powershell-dsc/blob/3d056fe815c68e9676789afe9d4ca71c05cefc8d/SampleConfigs/v4/v4.2.0/DesktopPro/Pro-SingleUse.json#L1-L10

Thanks once again for your reply @CameronKroeker.

I see there is an option of "ForceLicenseUpdate". The wiki describes this as "(Optional - true | false) - Will force an update of ArcGIS Server license".

What does this mean? Will it force an update of the license if it requires it for a new version or is this around enforcing (or not) the authorization of the software?
Is this also valid for Pro as I see there is a "Force = $ForceLicenseUpdate" in the ArcGISLicense.ps1 file for Pro and LicenseManager (lines 96 and 109 respectively)?

Hi @julian_svcs,

If we use the Uninstall, does this de-authorize Pro?
- -Mode Uninstall does not de-authorize licenses for ArcGIS Pro, or ArcGIS Desktop.
Is there any option to make use of the offline respc file to license Pro using InstallLicense?
- If you already have a .respc file you should be able to specify it in your json configuration file using the "LicenseFilePath" attribute.
Will there be any future option to use License only as a separate command?
- No there are no future plans for a standalone License mode.

Thanks,
Cameron K.

Thanks for the reply @CameronKroeker.

As a slight follow up to this:

Thank once again.

Hi @julian_svcs,

That is quite possible. Each time -Mode InstallLicense is run, the ArcGIS Module authorizes the license silently using the C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\SoftwareAuthorizationPro.exe tool.

If Pro is already authorized, I suggest using -Mode Install to apply the patch rather than -Mode InstallLicense.

Thanks,
Cameron K.
