Is there a way to deploy ArcGIS Pro in a shared computer environment, such as a computer lab, and have users rely on their Named User Licenses from ArcGIS Online? I don't have access to a license server, so I can't use Concurrent Use licensing.
Mark,
You can run the install silently using the following syntax:
msiexec.exe /i <Path to msi> /qb ALLUSERS=1 SOFTWARE_CLASS=Professional AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=NAMED_USER License_URL="www.arcgis.com"
You can find addition information concerning silent install in the following document:

Hi Peter,
Thank you! Forgive the ignorant questions, but do you have any problems with Pro remaining logged in for a specific user after they're done with using the shared computer?
Hi Mark,
Not in an unexpected way. Pro caches the info from a successful login, so a user doesn’t have to login every time they start Pro. Once the authorization times out, however, they will have to login again.
That auth info is cached in the user’s profile, so if you’re not deleting it from the profile — or deleting that user’s profile itself —after the user logs out of the shared machine, then it will still be there the next time they login to use that machine.
Peter,
That's very helpful. It makes sense that if the user's login is cached, they won't have to log in again on that computer while the authorization is current. The concern our folks had was that a user might sign in to Pro, then log out of the shared machine. When another user logs in to the shared machine, Pro would still recognize the previous user.
So in your lab instances, when a user opens Pro for the first time, they still have to navigate to the right place in the application to log on, correct? Or does it automatically pop up upon initial program start with your Enterprise login?
Each user on a single machine will have his/her own profile. User A's login detail will not affect User B. In your scenario, let's assume User A opened Pro using a specific account from AGOL. Without shutting down Pro, another user logs in on the same machine and starts Pro. The user will be prompt for an AGOL login account. The user can then log into Pro using another AGOL account that was previously granted Pro licenses. In this situation, User A started Pro using one account and User B started Pro using another AGOL account.
Hope that cleared up any confusion.
