I would like to use the geoprocessing tool 'Extract Multi Values to Points' in ArcGIS Pro, but the tool is not available due to requiring additional licensing. I'm seeing the same message when trying to use the 'IDW' tool that I looked at as an alternative. I don't want to have to pay for an extension, as it's 4,200 dollars for a year. I don't need most of the additional features included with this licensing. Does anyone have suggestions for a way to analyze a raster layer in order to see yield for quadrants around coordinate points (trees and nuts). Thank you!

You don’t need Spatial Analyst for this. Use Raster to Point + Spatial Join, or if you have polygons, run Zonal Statistics as Table. You can also script it with arcpy.Raster.getCellValue() or use QGIS Point Sampling as a free option. Keeps your yield analysis simple without extra licensing.

Yes Raster to Point and Spatial Join seems the only (potentially) viable option in ArcGIS.  I say potentially as it depends on the size of the Raster as it may be possible but not practical in terms of time/processing.

With the spatial join you can have a merge/join rule for all intersecting points (new points representing your raster cell centres with raster values) within your quadrants.  If you want to create a quadrant around your points, you can use a buffer and feature envelope to polygon tool How To: Create a Square Buffer around a Point Feature in ArcGIS Pro

I also believe Zonal Stats is a SA tool unfortunately.
