Some analysis tools 'locked' while others are working

SKittur — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 10:02:26 GMT

Hello, I have authorized spatial analyst tools in my ArcGIS pro personal use license. However I cannot use some of the tools (Eg. Analysis tools - Erase). On clicking the tool the 'tool is not licensed' error appears. I can use some of the other tools (eg. Intersect, spatial join) in the same toolset. I would appreciate any help or advise on how I can use these 'locked' tools. Thank you.

Some tools are locked based on the license level you have for Pro and the version of Pro.

For Pro 3.6 Erase (Analysis)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Standard: No

For Pro 3.7 Erase (Analysis Tools) | ArcGIS Pro documentation

So check your Pro version and the license level you have

Thanks. I have the Basic license for Pro 3.6. I guess I will have to update my software.

If you don't mind scrolling, this is a useful link

Geoprocessing licensing | ArcGIS Pro documentation

see the Analysis toolbox section for the current (3.7) release. License level vs availability.

You can then see what previous versions offered by changing the version at the top of the page
