Good to know, for future posts! Xander, I  fixed the link in my post.  Thanks again for the info. ... View more

Thanks Xander.  Same location, but for some reason mine didn't give me the Title.   Tried to fix but.... ... View more

i Have had a similar situation for years, and with each new release of license manager, I'm hoping that the new LM will have additional options.  I am on 10.3 now, and I still do not see a good "option" for a mix and limit when it comes to borrowed licenses.  I have tried your logic before which always sounds like it has potential, but never was able to get it to work.  I didn't put much effort into lately, however, since instead of a dozen or so user names as you show, I have about 350, and listing them all in groups is too much overhead, and in my situation, all have the same privileges, but I want to limit borrowed counts. My very clunky way to do it is to have a separate LM just for borrowing licenses.  That means I have a few limited licenses assigned to another LM that the user has to switch to if they need to borrow.  Not an ideal situation at all, but it assures that most license are kept in the office for the majority to use (we have about 53 core licenses for the 350 users).   This is a very inefficient way to handle this, for many reasons, but is necessary right now. So, I'm hoping someone has a good answer for you that maybe will work for us too.

Thanks Joanne.  Mine actually is up-to-date  (1.0 Prerelease update 2) and working, just was commenting that new downloads on MyEsri is not live for me either and possible reason.  I've had it installed for a while, and the update was applied a couple weeks ago (no issue), so probably just the last week it stopped being a live link. ...

My guess is if the link is disabled (and it is on mine too) that means final is coming soon, and they don't want to have people download pre-release anymore. [although it would help if they added a note] ... View more

I haven't tested in 10.3 enough yet for comparison, but for 10.2.2 I would say "yes", users may notice a lag if it spools it up the first time, but after that, not an issue.  I have most of mine set at 0.   I don't think the lag is that noticeable, and for seldom used layers, better to not have them take resources when idle.  Base maps get used often enough that for us, that never seems to be an issue (except after a restart). In the testing I've done so far with 10.3, I don't see many differences from 10.2.2. ... View more

Anthony, just in case "funniness" is multiple license managers (which is how I have some groups separated, and a set of licenses to borrow separated), you can set up separate .bat files.  I have a command window shortcut (pinned to my windows task bar) that opens to the directory with the lm util and the bat files...then I run based on the group/LM I need to check, eg. Chk_av.bat chk_av2.bat or chk_ai.bat.    of course you do not need to specify the .bat when running. if using groups within the options (.opt) files within the license manager (which I dont), does that display differently with the lmutil command?  Just wondering if that was what you meant. ...

Thanks.  I'm happy to hear that it's helpful to others.  I can't take credit for all the solutions obviously, but as long as I was gathering info for our/my own use, might as well share.  Nice that Geonet gives the platform for this. ... View more

And as Robert Scheitlin pointed out, we are running it on the local machines (not servers).  The question I was asking it whether to use one or different AppID's....that is, have one Add Item-an Application created with all possible user/dev machines and "shared", or have each user create an AppID.  I'm going with the second option. And if interested, yesterday I wrote and posted what I tested and the conclusions I came up with....right or wrong, or best practices??  I'm hoping others will comment if they have a better solution.  But doing the tests and writing it down makes my old mind understand it better.

I should have mentioned I was using 10.3.  I no longer have a 10.1, but in 10.0 I used   http://gisweb2.durhamnc.gov/arcgis/services http://gisweb2.durhamnc.gov/arcgis/services and it worked.  Maybe a limitation in your network? ... View more

For python add-ins, from what I understand it is not possible.  Can't answer for any others. ... View more

Depending on what version of ArcGIS you are using, try this instead that is, add add "rest" between the argis and services. ... View more
