topic License issue with Parallels. in ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/license-issue-with-parallels/m-p/599954#M3616 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi. I recently installed ArGIS Desktop 10.1 as a single user (Educational license). I installed it on a Windows Bootcamp partition on my Mac. Today, I attempted to access it via Parallels (version 9, if it matters), pointed at the same partition, so i could copy and paste into Word and my email as required for my class. When I launched the app, I received an error message telling me I needed to repair my license through the ArcGIS Administrator.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a few questions.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1) I assume that ArcGIS sees the Parallels virtual machine as an entirely new computer to which the current application is not licensed. Is that correct?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>2) Is there any easy workaround for this, or do I have to choose one?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>3) If I do have to choose one, how would I go about transferring the license key? Would I just deauthorize the license while booted into Bootcamp, then reauthorize it when I boot through Parallels? I'm a little hesitant to do that, because I have weekly assignments and I can't afford to have something go wrong with the license.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you in advance for any help.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 08 Sep 2013 03:31:32 GMT RachelVann-Foster 2013-09-08T03:31:32Z License issue with Parallels. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/license-issue-with-parallels/m-p/599954#M3616 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi.
