Access to Indoors tools in Advanced Notebook

I have all ArcGIS Indoors licenses except the Indoors Extension for ArcGIS Pro (which should not be required because my portal org has an ArcGIS Indoors Maps license).

I would like to use the Indoors geoprocessing tools from within ArcGIS Notebooks, particularly in ArcGIS Notebook Server Advanced Notebooks.

However, I cannot get the notebook environment to recognize the Indoors org-license from Portal. The Indoors tools appear to be unavailable.

My assumption is that the notebook runtime is expecting the license to be available directly on the Notebook Server rather than through the Portal organisational license.
Since I have similar issues even in ArcGIS Pro, I assume the Indoors org-license is not correctly applied within Notebooks.

I did some more analysis and it looks like the actual modules exist, but cannot find the correct license.

Has anyone encountered this issue? How can I configure Notebook Server so that Indoors tools recognize and use the Indoors license provided through Portal?

import arcpy print("Indoors:", arcpy.CheckExtension("Indoors"))

Result: Indoors: NotLicensed

@GauravJobanputra maybe you have an idea from the Indoors point of view?

Is the ArcGIS Pro Indoors Extension required to get this to work in Notebooks?
I found this Solved: Unable to Access/Use Indoors despite having valid ... - Esri Community but nothing is mentioned anywhere in the documentation on the topic (that I could find).
