In our experience (early 2018) commodity hardware in terms of motherboard, cpu, ram, etc. is fine for Pro, but commodity graphics cards -- as found in enterprise bulk buys -- are likely not to be, even when only using 2D. Installation and initial trial runs were fine, but as soon as we started anything moderately complex, like importing an ArcMap mxd with ~30 layers and page size of Arch D we'd get plagued with errors like "GPU resources exceeded. Consider closing some views or modifying layer settings to reduce the amount of data being displayed.". The ArcMap compositions were created and used on that same hardware without issue. [update]: Our graphics cards met the minimum of 2GB un-shared memory as posted in the min requirements. I don't remember the other specs, but the "Can I run it?" tool said the card was ok, not great, but ok. Given that, it could have been driver issues, but upgrading to current didn't help. ...

Very clearly described. Thanks. ... View more

pdal is excellent in my experience (admittedly limited to ~40 hours so far), but it can't read zLAS and there's little appetite to add that from the core team (ref). They'll accept contribution from anyone who wants to do the work though. ... View more

Thanks Curtis It's good to know when one of the things I leave scattered about turns out to be useful to other people. Your comment prompted me to update the uninstall script and publish my own version of installing pro script. ... View more

You can use the same account to open up to three ArcGIS Pro applications on any device, assuming they have Internet access of course.  So with Named license 1 machine can have 3 Pro sessions running at a time, but with Concurrent only 1 session can happen? That's a departure from ArcMap concurrent license behaviour. At any rate, you've answered my question enough that I can make a decision, thank you. ... View more

Thanks for taking the time to respond Amnoy. Re #1, tying to a single network isn't a problem here, probably even an advantage and not a limitation, but I'm glad to have this aspect drawn out of the background detail. Re #2, could you expand on what this means please? What 3 applications? ... View more

Yes, I should have said I've gone through those pages. Thanks.  I didn't notice anything that looked like "with concurrent you won't be able to ..." but I wanted to give people a chance to point something out in case I've overlooked something. ... View more

In past we've had some workstations not able to find a given license manager because of IPv4 and v6 issues, with v4 always working and v6 only for some machines. I didn't to get to the bottom of it. My hunch is a general network config issue and not specifically Esri's. ... View more

@chris_fox-esristaff the first part of the idea is display only the selected records, but the second part is the ability to later inspect that selection and possibly alter it, as well save and share it. Copying the selection into a definition query would allow that, while creating a layer from selection does not. Also in my experience the redraw performance of def-query layers is markedly faster than selection-set layers, especially for image services. ... View more
