"Error switching license manager!"

AndrewKrauska — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 18:37:28 GMT

Following Quick Start for ArcGIS Pro pdf -> Concurrent Use.

Converted ArcGIS Pro Named User Lic successfully.
We have already established an ArcGIS Lic Manager for our existing ArcMap/Globe/Scene/Catalog concurrent installations.
Authorized ArcGIS Pro Advanced successfully, our Lic Server Admin shows availability 1 of 1.
But now, after installing ArcGIS Pro and selecting Configure your Lic Options -> Concurrent Use Lic -> when inserting our established Lic Manager we see "Error switching License Manager!" // Invalid Host Name.

FQDN and IP does not work. It's strange that our other Arc concurrent-use products work just fine...

Hello Andrew,

If you have ArcGIS Pro 2.0 in use, you need to upgrade the licence manager to version 10.5.1.

Please have a look at the following page: https://community.esri.com/community/gis/applications/arcgis-pro/blog/2017/06/12/upgrade-to-license-manager-1051-to-use-concurrent-use-licenses-with-arcgis-pro-20

My Regards,

Michael

Thank you, that is helpful. I need to confirm now if I am installing Pro 2.0. Currently what is showing in my License Server Admin is ArcGIS Pro Advanced Version 1.2. But I have a feeling that is only showing this way from my selection when I initially went to Authorize Now... only Pro 1.2 was available to choose. When I log into my ESRI account, I see Arc GIS Pro for Desktop Advanced Version 10.4 - This is a little confusing, this is what I converted for authorization. Should I preform the Upgrade to License manager 10.5 regardless? I had assumed because my ESRI account showed "Version 10.4" under Pro that my Lic Manager was acceptable to still be 10.4 as well.
