Moving from concurrent use to named user licenses and extra admin effort while switching licenses

[BertvanRest]

Using a licence manager and concurrent licenses, users can switch licenses themselves, e.g. from Basic to Standard or Advanced. Or they can add an extension for a day.

Esri wants to phase out the concurrent license model and move to named user licenses.

However in ArcGIS Online only an Admin can do the job and help the user with switching a license or an extension. This cost time and is a serious drawback.

The alternative: buying the most expensive named user licenses for all users would be too costly.  

Can Esri make user-based licence switching possible again?

I can imagine it's hard to do. But it would be appreceated very much.

Any other customers - reading this post who would like the same - feel welcome to support this.

Disappointed that your post hasn't generated a discussion.  My group is concerned with the issues you've brought up.  Signing out extensions, switching named user types temporarily so users can access everything in Professional Plus.    

ESRI's success with concurrent licensing has resulting in the majority of our Pro users are  part-time users which doesn't map over well to the "named user" model.
