spatial license "NotLicensed" in stand alone script...

MichaelBlom — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 12:45:24 GMT

... but fine (Available) when I debug the script in a python IDE.

In this doc on page 116, I read that the setting of product and extensions is necessary only within stand alone scripts.

So in my py script, I first do the full check for the spatial analyst license, but it fails when I call this script from a command window.

If I open administrator, and see what I have installed, Spatial Analyst is there: Installed, Authorized and Permanent (non expiring). Single Use, so no license server to point at.

Does anyone have any hints about how I can solve this?

Thanks,
Mike

Not exactly sure what your specific problem is that you are experiencing, but here is how you would check out a license, perform the analysis and then check the license back in.


      ### see if spatial analyst extension is available for use
      availability = arcpy.CheckExtension("Spatial")
      if availability == "Available":
         arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
         print "SA Ext has been checked out"
      else:
         print "%s extension is not available (%s)"%("Spatial Analyst Extension",availability)
         print "Please ask someone who has it checked out but not using to turn off the extension"
         return
                
      #run the analysis     
      arcpy.sa.Sample(rasters2, transect_in, outtab)

      #return the extension
      arcpy.CheckInExtension("Spatial")

thanks for replying James:

I have these lines:

if arcpy.CheckExtension("Spatial")=="Available":
    do something
else:
    arcpy.AddMessage("Spatial Analyst Licenses status: "+ arcpy.CheckExtension("Spatial"))
    arcpy.AddMessage(arcpy.ProductInfo())

I log the messages out:

Spatial Analyst Licenses status: NotLicensed
ArcServer

When I open ArcMap, it tells me I have spatial analyst.

As James said earlier you have to actually check out the license with this line.

arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")

Hi Matthew,

A "check-out" would occur after checking and seeing that the license is available - I am being told that no license is available, so I cannot proceed to check it out.

Besides, a check out would not apply for a stand-alone license, would it? only if there's a license server (which i don't have)

I think the real clue is when I print out this statment: arcpy.AddMessage(arcpy.ProductInfo())
and I get as a result:
ArcServer

This box has arcgis server and arcmap installed. Perhaps there is a conflict with the "License Levels". Perhaps at the arcserver license level there is no access to desktop extensions via scripting?

Someone from ESRI?

Ahh yes. An ArcServer install cannot use desktop licenses.

Are you using 64 bit Python for desktop?

What is your output from sys.path?

Re: spatial license "NotLicensed" in stand alone script...

MichaelBlom — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:26:04 GMT

sys.path[0] is just the path that the script is running from

I didn't print out other sys.path values, is there a specific value in the list?

the only version of python i have is here: D:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.2\python.exe

The entire sys.path output will tell you if you are reading from the desktop or server libraries or both.

MathewCoyle — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 21:26:14 GMT

Yeah there are no desktop references. You will need to add these to your system paths, and possibly remove the server library references. Modifying depending on what drive/folder you have desktop installed. You will need the 64 bit desktop geoprocessing patch if you don't already.

 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ArcGIS\\Desktop10.2\\bin',
 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ArcGIS\\Desktop10.2\\arcpy',
 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ArcGIS\\Desktop10.2\\ArcToolbox\\Scripts'

I'm not 100% sure if this will solve your problem or not as I've never dealt with a mixed install like this before.

Thanks for helping out with this.
How do I edit my (Python?) system paths?

It's very strange, because I've had this setup before, and it's worked fine.

Thanks again.

I haven't tried yet, but this looks to be a solution:

So, the solution I linked to above describes what to do if desktop level of licensing is interfering with a server level of licensing.

What's the solution for the problem where I have a server level of licensing blocking me from running python scripts that rely on a desktop level of licensing?

From what I've read, one cannot revert or degrade their level of licensing, and I would not want to do this and run the risk of ArcGIS server then not functioning properly.

What I don't get is "why are desktop and server part of the same spectrum of licensing??!!"

Maybe I can register spatial analyst extension with my server license? has anyone done this ever?

Spatial Analyst for ArcGIS Server is a separate extension requiring it's own license.

http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisserver/extensions/spatial-extension

Their licensing is separate but their geoprocessing overlap.

Re: spatial license "NotLicensed" in stand alone script...

MichaelBlom — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:02:52 GMT

Yes, and I have Spatial Analyst installed, authorized, authenticated, polished & shined, and ready to go.

But the fact of the matter, is that my check for licenses needs to go through the Desktop version of the geoprocessing python scripts to see this.
