Just found the 3400 download site, no mention there that the Data Access expansion pack functionality has been rolled into the core product (per this blog).. I don't think that is fully the case because the nmf we use for our agency works fine in version 2505 but in the new version it will not open all the layers in our basemap (i.e., default ESRI imagery in particular). Note - the depreciation planhas this version being RETIRED on October 1, 2017. Should we invest any additional resources into this software or abandon it and move on to another solution (i.e., was this the last release)?

Hello, Though not the "machine wide" solution like I'm looking for, I did find a set of registry keys that will work for per-user installations. By running this registry update after the software is installed the end user can avoid having to manually entering ArcGIS Pro's licensing information.Note - this example shows a "Standard" license level, other options are BASIC and ADVANCED. I'm still open to better ideas Rich

Thank you for your response. None of these help documents describe how to define the license information for your application as part of an installation (i.e., they all require user interaction to enter the licensing information). The problem is ESR has failed to realize (again) that they have customers with 100's if not 1000's of installations and that the licensing step has to be automated to enable enterprise deployments of their software. What I'm looking for is the physical location/file that the licensing information for ArcGIS Pro is stored at. If we find it, then we could copy/deploy it with the application. For example, In Desktop this information is found at HKLM\Software\WOS6432Node\ESRI\License10.3 or \License10.4 and several of the settings can actually be set within the desktop install package itself (i.e., the MSI).

Anyone know where the licensing settings for ArcGIS Pro are stored? They do not appear to be in the Registry or in the c:\users\all users\ESRI or c:\users\all users\Application data area. They are not under C:\Users\Default either. We are looking into deploying the software to a larger number users and need to be able to define the license preferences in the install package or by script after the software is installed (i.e., license server name and license type (basic, standard, advanced)). Ideas are welcome. Rich

B definition referrence grids "are drawn on top of the data frame in layout view only" so within a single data frame this would be allowd. One option would be to create two data frames and place one on top of the other. For example, you could have one data fame just with my 'main boundary layer' set to my desired scale/extent. Then create a gradicule for it. In my second data frame I would have my 'real' data. I would then align the bounding boxes of the two frames and grid (at the top right & bottom left of the map) . Once aligned I would uncheck the 'main boundary layer' in data frame 1 to make it invisible. This would result in something like this. Rich

Now that ArcGIS License Manager 10.4 FINAL is out here is some additional information. The ArcInfo License Manager 10.4 just released is not the same version as the one included in the prerelease. To upgrade to the production 10.4 license manager you need to manually uninstall 10.4.50xx and install 10.4.5524. To use the concurrent use license option for ArcGIS Pro 1.2 you need to provision licenses from my.esri.com and then load them onto your license manager (similar to how you add ArcGIS Desktop licenses). Of note is that in the "Version" drop down, next to the "Authorize Now" button, there is a new Pro 1.2 option. This must be selected to authorize ArcGIS Pro. Secondly, after this is done and you hit "Authorize Now" to open the Software Authorizatio Wizard you will need to use the ArcGIS for Desktop radio button (there is no ArcGIS Pro option) to proceed through the authorization.I also had to cut and past the ECU license code, the wizard did not appear to honor the .pvrs file data. I mention this because it was confusing to me. Rich

Just as a side note, if you have ArcGIS License Manager 10.4.5026 (which came with prerelease 10.4) you need to uninstall it and load the production 10.4.5524 version. It is interesting to see that ArcPro now has its own license codes instead of using those for ArcInfo, ArcEditor, ArcView, etc. You have to provision these from my.esri.com and then authorize on your license server seperatly from your Desktop licenses.

Is ESRI supporting Vistual Studio 2013 with Add-ins? I'm receiving the same "unable to create .esriAddin; missing ESRI ArcGIS Add-in SDK components" message as reference here, buth I have VS 2013 and ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1 (With the .Net SDK ) loaded.

Here is an issue to be aware of for those upgrading to or installing a new ArcGIS License Managers for 10.4. I did this to support prerelease testing. In my case I installed the new license manager on a fresh Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) install. I then updated the services.txt file as required to open the firewall to allow traffic between the FLEX LM manager and other computers on the network. I was then able to successfully checkout/checkin licenses from my ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1 client and the ArcGIS 10.4 License Manager. I then tested the Borrow license feature for ArcGIS Desktop Basic (client machine). This succeded. However, when attempting to return the license the ArcGIS Adminstrator (on the Desktop machine) would time out after about 20 seconds and return an error message. The Borrow/Return screen would then refresh and shown the license had not been returned. This appeared to be a timeout issue, fixes such as adding the FLEXLM_TIMEOUT environment variable on the client (with values as high as 20 seconds) were tried but failed to improve the situation. On the host (license manager) machine we tried adding the computer names into the hosts table. During a ping attempt while testing connections between the two computers we noticed that on the host machine it was returning the IPv6 address when pinged, when the same machine was pinged from the client machine it returned and IPv4 address. This turned out to be the problem. To fix the connection issue it was necessary to change the "priority" of the IP addresses. In Windows 7 and later IPv6 is the prefered/first addressed returned. To change the priority I used the Prefer IPv4 over IPv6 in prefix policies FixIt tool available from Microsoft for KB92985 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929852). Disabling the IPv6 support on the network card itself worked as well but was not a viable longterm solution on our network. Hope this helps someone. Rich D.

They are not acutally "revoked", your ArcGIS Online subscription expires thus you can't log on and get the license. You can fource ArcGIS Pro to "download" the license (while you are still on maintenance) the first time you login so you don't have to connect to AGOL every time you start ArcGIS Pro. Rich

The index may be stored in the feature class, do you have the write permission to the feature class or table that the layer points to?

‎09-24-2015

This has been an issue for a while, FME has provided an extension to do this. Visit http://www2.safe.com/convert/dwg-to-arcgis-online-feature-service. They have a free trial and demo available. You might also try saving your DWG to a previous release like AutoCAD 2010. There was a known issue with AutoCAD 2013 and ArcGIS. Rich

Have you tried: <button type='button' id='infoBtn' class='infoButn' onclick="myFunction()'>Click Me</button> with the function in a <script> tag in <head> area of the page. <script language="javascript"> function myFunction() { 'do stuff } </script>

What you mention is one of the issues with weather, satellite, and many large datasets (i.e., they only show the current data). If you are looking for large scale imagery you can, for example, download LANDSAT satellite imagery (by swath) from http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov and http://landsatlook.usgs.gov . You can also search for USGS DOQ, Aerial Photo Mosaics, etc. LANDSAT and some other satellites also have "decadal" average data sets (e.g., 1990-99, 2000-2009, etc) that allow you to identify such things as vegetation change over time. If you are looking for local, small scale, imagery your best bet will be your States Department of Natural Resources or similar. Rich
