I got a error message 'Tool is not licensed' When I tried to execute hotspot on the background processing 64bit environment. Foreground processing works without problem.
What license should I have?
Check your Customize, Extensions menu option and make sure that the Spatial Statistics is toggled on.
I appreciate your quick reply. I did toggle on all of the extensions so that It works without 64bit background processing but the message was shown for all arctools with background processing after I installed the 64bit background processing.
What version of ArcMap? Could be a bug or some other issue... but
If you need 64 bit, it is just easier to use ArcGIS PRO... the same tools exist there for the most part and it will honor your licenses that you have for ArcMap.
The version of ArcMap is 10.3.1. I am not sure my institute has ArcGIS pro.
Because of many of mxd files, I am trying to use ArcMap.
You would have to backtrack through the changelogs to see if this was an issue that was addressed in other releases.
I maintain a changelog under Bug List and Changelogs on my blog

Error: You are not licensed for Geodatabase Editor
I agree with Jayanta and Dan. Background 64-bit processing with 10.3.x seems to cause more issues than it is worth. Turn it off and see if that makes a difference.
