Over the last two years the licencing model of the ArcGIS product suite has changed significantly. Licencing issues are still by far outstripping any other queries directed to our support division. These seminar notes are dedicated to discussing the challenges that our users experience with the licencing of the ArcGIS products, disusing the different ArcGIS Licencing concepts and options.

31. Upgrading Licenses
• Only licenses that are authorized to the particular License
Manager being used can be upgraded.
• Licenses currently borrowed cannot be upgraded. If any licenses
are borrowed, they must be returned before they can be
upgraded to 10.1, but that can be done separately at a later time.
• Authorization limits remain in effect for 10.1 as they exist at 10.0.
• It is not possible to authorize licenses beyond the limits of the
account. Check the Customer Care Portal to ensure that
available authorizations are not being exceeded.

36. Common problems
Please remember the following
1. Always run the ArcGIS Administrator or License server administrator as the
administrator (right click and click run as administrator)
2. Try by all means to avoid uploading files more than once as this will result to
over-registering your licenses.
3. Please try using Internet Explorer or Mozilla firefox as Google Chrome tries to
open the file and copying and pasting that same information on an
authorization file does not work.
4. For 10.0 Minimum Service Pack 3 must be installed.
5. You might also need to turn off the Anti-virus temporarily
6. Windows Firewall might need to be turned off on a PC that is hosting licenses,
or follow the guidelines on the help documentation to configure licenses
manager to work on a PC with the firewall turned on.
