Good Afternoon, reviewing previous requests they did not clearly define the problem we experience annually with ArcGIS Online subscriptions (including ArcGIS Pro). As Administrators of the account for large 1000+ organizations, we need to have the following abilities within the Administration Controls of AGO.
At current when your (30) 15 days before the end of a subscription the entire organization gets bombarded with the expiration notice. This is unnecessary and causes a burden on the administrators of the organization with constant messaging from casual users of the platform. In many cases, the license/sub will auto-renew and thus the message is unnecessary to display from an organizational standpoint.
The following solution(s) should be implemented for the Expiration Notice
This also should be extended to those in a Restricted State Organization, though I could see the value in letting users know that some functions may not work. We need to have the ability as Administrators to control the messages being displayed on the platform.
Lastly, we have Provisioning of ArcGIS Professional Through ArcGIS Online (AGO). While I do not think it functionally possible to suppress the License Experation Notice for ArcGIS Pro. Given that the option to "be Reminded 14 days before is an option clicked by default in the ArcGIS Pro application. We like to consider that this could be turned off by default for organizations who have "Software" managed through an auto-deployment system. E.g. Create the image with set options to avoid this annoyance for Licenses managed through AGO.
Request that:
There is also some further speculation to take into consideration
Use of a license server to deploy concurrent licensing of ArcGIS Pro through a license manager and those using Single Login Authenticated may also have their own problems. ArcGIS Desktop Admin/License Admin tools did allow one to turn off/on 14-day notice. I am unclear if the option exists in ArcGIS Pro Admin/License tools.
This has been a long-time annoyance that hits nearly all admins annually. Specifically annoying for those who have an EA for large organizations with 1000s of users.
