this account does not have an arcgis pro named user license

[GregJohnson6]

Just trying to open the desktop version.  I'm specifically interested in ArcMAP right now.  Every time I try to launch ArcGIS Pro, I get the above message, then a login loop.

I just want to open the desktop version of this tool.  I started my trial late last week... What am I doing wrong?  Why is this so hard?

Thanks,

Greg

Were you following the instructions on this page for installation, registration and starting the program?

They may not seem intuitive, but that is the way that you have to get things to work

thanks, yeah, I had to assign the licenses
