Using an older keycodes file to enable an enterprise geodatabase

[RandyKreuziger1]

User ran the enable enterprise geodatabase on  PostgreSQL database  via ArcCatalog 10.8 but using an old 10.4 keycode file.  The resulting geodatabase shows it's at version 10.9.1 but I wonder if it's missing anything.  We are fully licensed with ESRI ELA so that's not an issue but the user didn't know they were pointing to a very old keycode file.

I would say as long as the Enterprise Geodatabase is reporting the correct version (i.e., 10.9.1 / 11.0 / etc.) based on the client used to create / enable it, and the license expiration date is correct, you should be fine.

You can also run this tool to update the license file to the correct (updated) one: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/update-enterprise-geodatabas...

George, I have seen several examples where ArcGIS 10.8.2 contains ArcGIS 10.9.1 code, and it appears that includes tools that create enterprise geodatabases as well.

You are correct @JoshuaBixby . Using the 10.8.2 client will create / enable a 10.9.1 EGDB: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/manage-data/windows/client-geodatabase-compatibility....

I have updated my post......
