license to create a corporate geodatabase with PostGreSQL

[LuisEduardoPerezGraterol]

Do I need a special license to create a corporate geodatabase with PostGreSQL in ArcGis Pro or ArcGis Desktop?

You will need the keycodes file from ArcGIS Server (any license level) and use the Create / Enable Enterprise Geodatabase tool.

If you do not have ArcGIS Server licensing, you can use PostgreSQL as a database, but have limited functionality with ArcGIS clients.

Thank you, is this process the same in ArcGis pro or ArcGis Desktop?
In which one (ArcGis pro or ArcGis Desktop) do you recommend to create and manage it?

The general process is the same in ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro. I would recommend ArcGIS Pro  since you will get the greatest capabilities / functionality.

Here is doc for using ArcGIS Pro to create the Enterprise Geodatabase; https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/manage-postgresql/setup-geodatabase-... 

If PostgreSQL is being run in Linux, there are directions for that also.
