Use of Concurrent license along with single use extension

MalharKaleindia — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 09:06:41 GMT

Hello Everyone, our desktop application is authorized from License Manager (Concurrent) use and my extensions are single use. When I test, I can use either the core license or the extensions license.

I am unable to find any Esri Documentation which explicitly say that we need to have the extension type same as the core application.

Let me know if this is an expected behavior.

Thanks in Advance

Malhar

Hi Malhar,

You cannot mix single-use and concurrent use licenses, you must use one or the other. If you are using a concurrent use ArcMap license, ArcMap will be looking for licenses on your license manager. See the following documentation:

https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/main/using-extensions-in-arcgis.htm#:~:text=If%20you%27re%20using%20the%20ArcGIS%20Desktop%20Basic%2C%20Desktop%20Standard%2C%20or%20Desktop%20Advanced%20concurrent%20use%20(floating)%20product%2C%20a%20license%20must%20be%20currently%20available%20on%20your%20license%20manager%20for%20you%20to%20enable%20an%20extension%20in%20the%20Extensions%20dialog%20box.

Hope this helps!
