This is a problem my coworkers and I have encountered several times without being able to track down the exact issue, and a very annoying and almost untestable one.When testing a standalone application using ArcObjects, at the some point the license would end up corrupted and impossible to repair without contacting ESRI support.A sample of the latest application in development that corrupted my license recently:
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
AoInitialize arcObjectInitialize = null;
if (!ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.Bind(ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.Desktop))
{
System.Console.WriteLine("This application could not load the correct version of ArcGIS.");
Environment.Exit(Environment.ExitCode);
}
try
{
arcObjectInitialize = new AoInitialize();
esriLicenseProductCode typeLicense;
if (arcObjectInitialize.IsProductCodeAvailable(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeBasic) == esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable)
{
typeLicense = esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeBasic;
arcObjectInitialize.Initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeBasic);
}
else
{
if (arcObjectInitialize.IsProductCodeAvailable(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeStandard) == esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable)
{
typeLicense = esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeStandard;
arcObjectInitialize.Initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeStandard);
}
else
{
if (arcObjectInitialize.IsProductCodeAvailable(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeAdvanced) == esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable)
{
typeLicense = esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeAdvanced;
arcObjectInitialize.Initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeAdvanced);
}
else
{
throw new Exception("ArcView");
}
}
}
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("No valid license found, exiting program.");
Environment.Exit(Environment.ExitCode);
}
//Some processings...
try
{
arcObjectInitialize.Shutdown();
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("License shutdown failed, exiting program.");
Environment.Exit(Environment.ExitCode);
}
}
It follows the examples given on the support, but if there is something more to check or something that shouldn't be done, I woul be really glad to know what. The latest corruption happened while ArcMap was running in background, should it be avoided ? Is it a known issue or is there a way to check if the license is in use ?
