Has anyone experienced problems installing ArcGIS Pro on lab computers that have Deep Freeze installed on them? 

 

We are licensing our lab computers with a concurrent license, and then when a student logs on, and a new user profile is created, it goes back to the default named-user license. We don't want to have all of our Intro to GIS students (there are at least 5 sections each semester)  using credits and creating accounts on our ArcGIS Online account. Is there a workaround in the computer registry that we can use so students don't manually have to set up the licensing every time they log on?

Angela,

This can be accomplished.  Do a silent install of ArcGIS Pro and define at least three properties (ESRI_LICENSE_HOST, SOFTWARE_CLASS and AUTHORIZATION_TYPE).  Doing so will create a template setting in the HKLM hive in the registry.  If you include the property, LOCK_AUTH_SETTINGS, all users on the system will start ArcGIS Pro with a predefined setting to use Concurrent Use licensing option and pointing to a predefined license manager. 

Here is a link for details concerning silent installation or ArcGIS Pro.  Let me know if you have further question on this.
