There may be other options for Pro licensing, for example if you have a concurrent license manager, licenses can may be able to be converted.  You would need to talk to you license administrator to know if this is possible, and maybe your customer service rep or lcal distributor.  ArcGIS Desktop licensing—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop  ...

To add to that, although the LM can technically run on a desktop (not server) OS, I would recommend a server just because it typically doesn't get shutdown or rebooted as often.   As Randall mentioned, very light weight. ... View more

Online gets updated first.  The Dev edition gets updated about 6-8 weeks later.  The Portal seems to be only updated as Portal (part of Enterprise not) is updated, so yes, that may be a version or two behind. edit:  btw - that doesn't mean that you can't use and host the Dev edition with services from Portal.  It's just you are using the Dev edition and not one of the more pre-fab'd "portal" versions.  Although the version might be behind the online version for a while (i.e  new widgets come out with the Online version first), the Dev version still has many of the features, just not the newest stuff.  Check out my blog /blogs/myAlaskaGIS/2016/03/09/web-appbuilder-developer-edition-customization-resource-list?sr=search&searchId=3f3ef110-2fce-41e4-8418-679ed0b858f6&searchIndex=4‌  for links to other info and the custom widgets that others have written (which may not be availabe in the portal versions). ...

If you follow Robert's suggestion of the Web Appbuilder Developer Edition, you may be able to use the Local Layer widget to access your ArcGIS Server services.  Or, using your ArcGIS Online or Portal, you can add the service and access it that way.  If it is a public service, it is fairly easy to do.  If a secure service, it is a little trickier and will most likely require a proxy.  All doable.

For specific licensing questions, it's probably better to contact your customer service rep and/or local distributor.  Although your may gt an answer here re if the name changed (I do not know), usually licensing questions won't/can't be address in the forums.  (but the to links in the original post might have something that will help) ...

I second Jonathan Quinn  suggestions of sticking with arcpy for this and to use the database tools and append.  You may need to do some prep work from the collection table to get it to be in the right format to append.   do you know what database is being used for the ArcGIS Server service? (Sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it) i like to use file geodatabases (fgdb) v's an enterprise database (e.g. ArcSDE for SQL or Oracle).  Even if you are updating a "master" database using an enterprise, you can export to a fgdb and run the service using that.  I recommend stopping the service, updating the file and restarting the service, although there are other ways to do this. i would first take a copy of the target file and get the appending of new data figured out.  If you have issues with the arcpy syntax, make sure to pull and <passwords> or other secure items out, and post the code using https://community.esri.com/people/curtvprice/blog/2014/09/25/posting-code-blocks-in-the-new-geonet?sr=search&searchId=8411050e-9e9c-49af-8fa5-2bcd107d823a&searchIndex=6‌ so others can help. ...

I choose not to check that in our organization.  We are not federated for ArcGIS Online and assign users an account fnam.lnam_org  for ArcGIS online.  We want these to be separate since we do not have enough named user slots and have to switch users around as people come/go or users needing the mobile apps change.  Much easier to do if these are not associated with your organization myesri account. If users need access for training, for instant, they usually use an account that is associated with geonet/community or a dev account and send a request, not their AGOL account.  These can still be associated with their work email, if needed. For us, that is easier to manage, although because it is not federated, we don't always know when people leave.  (down side)  Only a couple of us have full access to the (myesri) organization account. I think, keeping it separate will also be easier for the user.  For example, when I separate from service, I will make sure someone else is assigned all the superuser/admin rights on myesri.  Then, I can change my email to my (global) geonet/myesri account to a personal email,  Then they can take the esri access away from me.  I will still have access to any personal accounts and geonet.  The AGOL account, they can disable and move items to another account.  Should be a clean separation if thought out. Anyway, my two cents. ... View more

I king of suspected that (my edit about not getting it any further), but thought that might help you or others in future.  I also would like a headless option.  Trying to set things up for not admin users. btw...you can hard code the password variable instead of using getpass....but I wouldn't think that would be desirable. ...

I not sure about a token, but from a admin (for moving items to new user, etc) sample and some messing around, this is what I use to connect:   (edit: btw, I'm also hoping to figure out a better way with a token or at least a hidden encrypted pasword...just havent' messed with that yet) # standard modules to load from arcgis.gis import GIS from IPython.display import display from getpass import getpass #  the organizational admin account to use.  This is a generic one to be used for administration tasks only adminuser = "an_adminuser" #  the URL to our organizational account ourAGOLOrg = "https://ourorg.maps.arcgis.com" # Set password variable..enter the password for the admin user specified above. e.g. alaskafishandgame # will prompt for password, will display *** as you type and ...  after password = getpass() #Create a connection to the portal. In this case, we will exercise the verify_cert option to not validate the SSL certificate (True by default). #  make sure the correct admin user and password are set above #   If it works, will not return anything and will skip to next box.  #   If credentials are bad, will return an error message. gis = GIS(ourAGOLOrg, adminuser, password, verify_cert=False)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I would suggest making a landing page (with links to apps)  that looks like it has "...the kitchen sink", but behind the scenes have specific apps/projects.  Other than doing as Robert mentions and having them show how slow and un-usable, sometimes you need to think ahead of those asking.  If you get ta few of the specific task apps done and frame it out, and have one with everything, hopefully you can show that smaller targeted apps are better. Of course, that all might be easier said than done.  I can't say that I have had time to do that myself....and it is needed here too. ... View more

ha...beat me to it.    Robert is the expert so I will bow to his advice. I do have some b logs however where I may have some other tips mixed.  As always, they could use another refresh and cleanup but they may help.    this may be a good one to start with (although haven't updated since 2.5 it looks like) https://community.esri.com/blogs/myAlaskaGIS/2017/02/15/web-appbuilder-tips-and-links-for-creating-modifying-and-modifying-custom-widgets-2132017  ...

I would recommend starting with a clean (new folder) for any updated WAB version.  Trying to update in place in my opinion is risky.  From that point there are options.  Typically you are working in the WAB dev software for developing, then deploy from that.  Or are you wanting to tweak you deployed versions direct?  That would be tricky (understatement) is my guess. ...
