Bought arcpro for individual use but error says number of users exceeds number of licenses?!

[MarkRoberts]

I recently bought arcpro for individual use. I created an organization in which I’m the only member. I downloaded arcpro from myesri, but when I try to run arcpro, it gives me an error about the number of users exceeds the number of licenses. How can this be if I’m the only member in the organization and logging in through my organization login?

I’ve reviewed other articles with the license issue but nothing has worked so far. Kind of lost after just buying this program. Any help would be appreciated.

using Windows 11 and got the laptop last month, and already got the .NET update.

Did you see this?

Error: The number of licenses assigned to users exceeds the number of licenses available in your org...

Yeah that's the error I get. I am already Professional Advanced and my configuration settings are what it says to change it to.

Another support page said to rename some registry keys, but now the error I get is:

A core license could not be found. Select another licensing option or contact your administrator to update your licenses.

I think I'm making the situation worse...

And another one from the support page

Error: A core license could not be found (esri.com)

Thanks for linking to that.

I went through the solutions they have in the article but it still is giving me the first error (number of licenses assigned to users exceeds the number of licenses).

Tech Support is your best option then

For what it's worth, I just got off the phone with tech support and they fixed the issue.

Here's what fixed it for me:
Close ArcPro
Delete/rename: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro (need to show hidden files)
Delete/rename: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Esri\ArcGISPro
Delete/rename: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Esri\ArcGISPro_StrongName_......... file
Delete: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ESRI_Licensing\Iss.dat
Reopen ArcPro
