Public Account?

RyanCoodey — Sat, 03 Aug 2013 00:41:37 GMT

Trying to register for the new developers site but when using my existing ESRI global account it says "ArcGIS for Developers does not support public accounts"... Why? I really don't want to make another account for this... so how do I make my account not public?

Thanks a lot!

Currently you have to create a separate account for developer subscriptions. You should be able to use the same email however.

Ahh, bummer... seems like a weird design but I guess ESRI has their reason. Thanks a lot for that info!

The good news is that we are looking at ways to improve the account management component of subscriptions!

So I have still been holding out in the hopes to use my one ESRI global account, but decided to give in today cause I want to get into this new site... maybe it is just me but just as an FYI, I couldn�??t use the same email, it said: "The email provided has already been used to create an account." :(.

I'm having the exact same issue. If I login to ArcGIS.com, it works just fine, but if I go to the developers site, it says "ArcGIS for Developers does not support public accounts". When I try to register for an account, it says the email address is already in use.

Any suggestions on a workaround, or a timeline on a fix?
