ArcGIS Pro silent instsall enble extensions

ShirleyLi — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 21:51:03 GMT

We are installing ArcGIS Pro silently on machines which will be used by multiple users. We have a concurrent license and we want to enable the extensions by default. How can we do this during the silent install? Is there a paremeter in the command to set it? The command we currently use is msiexec.exe /i ArcGISPro.msi /qb ALLUSERS=1 SOFTWARE_CLASS=Professional ESRI_LICENSE_HOST=.... AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=CONCURRENT_USE LOCK_AUTH_SETTINGS=False

Or is there any other way to enable the extensions for all the users on the machine?

Thank you!

Than you Dan for the requick response. I wonder if there is a setting to turn on the extensions for all the users on the machine, that is, enable the extensions by default.

In my org, Pro is licensed as 'named user' and licenses for extensions are assigned to us as per the help topic

extensions-in-arcgis-pro

If your organization has purchased extension licenses, and a license has been assigned to you, the tools and functionality associated with the extension are available automatically.

Thank you for the info. We use a concurrent license on the machine. Not sure if these extensions can be available automatically too on the concurrent license.

Shirley,

Currently there is no option to select extensions when using the silent install. The parameter for this does not yet exist. However, I have heard of other clients using the following workaround:

1. Start ArcGIS Pro to use the concurrent use licensing option.

2. Go to the Configure Authorization dialogue and select all or preferred extensions.

The selected extensions are stored in the following registry hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Licensing\Extensions.

3. Export the Extensions Registry hive and apply it to other workstation.

You can run a script to silently install ArcGIS Pro follow by registry hive.

Hope this helps.
