ArcGIS 10 License provisioning for multiple single-use licenses

Looks like ESRI is starting to let folks download the final release of ArcGIS 10. I was able to download ours yesterday. For those of you that opted for the download option, if you have not received you email with instructions yet, I am sure you will be soon.

One of the many things that have changed with the release of 10 is how you get your license files. ESRI has a new customer portal that allows you to allocate all your various licenses and generate provisioning files. A provisioning file is a text file that can be used to pre-populate user information and authorization numbers in the Software Authorization Wizard instead of manually entering the information. For the ArcGIS License Manager, the provisioning file is in the format *.prvs. For ArcGIS Desktop, Engine, Server, the provisioning file is in the format *.prvc.  For those that run concurrent licenses, this is very similar to the license files we always received. It will work a little differently for single use licenses especially if you have multiple licenses.

If you have multiple single use licenses, when you go to generate provisioning files for those licenses, you will have to allocate and generate a file for each individual computer you plan to assign a license. For example we have 5 single use ArcView licenses. I cannot generate one provisioning file allocating all 5 of my licenses and use it to install on 5 different computers. Instead I must generate five different provisioning files.  

For additional information go to:  https://customers.esri.com/index.cfm?event=general.dspHelp&topic=authorizations

 You may need to login to your ESRI global account to access the link. Hopefully this will help as you start to migrate to ArcGIS 10.

Summer GIS Camp Needs Help

Voorhees College in Denmark SC is going to put on a summer camp program for high school students (9-12 grade) and it will be three weeks in duration. They do not have any ESRI licenses at this time but I have contacted ESRI to see if anything can be done. I also don’t know if ArcGIS Explorer would be able to do what they need, in which case it may be significantly easier to get them up and running for the three week camp.

If you can think of anyone who is available and might be interested in doing the work for them, can you please let Barbara know?

I am the project director of an Environmental Science, Math, and Related Technology (eSMART) Day Camp program. It will consist of high school students during research in the environmental science areas. The program will run from July 1 and July 6-23, 2010. I would like to offer a class on GIS to support their research projects. The class would be held from 8am-12noon, M-F, except for the days they will travel to learn more about environmental issues. The pay is $1,500 per week for 3 weeks totalling $4,500. The faculty and college interns are requested to attend an orientation on June 30 and a closing evaluation on July 24. If you have someone that can instruct our students in research using GIS, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this request.

Installing ArcGIS Server .Net on Windows 7

I have just upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 which I have to say was about the easiest OS install I have experienced. However when I went to install ArcGIS Server .NET 9.3.1, I ran into some issues with Microsoft Internet Information Server. Windows 7 uses IIS 7 which is the same as Windows Server 2008. So unlike past versions of IIS which only required you to add it as a Windows componet, this new version has some setting you need to make sure to check as you install it on your computer. I thought I would share these with you so you don’t run into the same issues I did.

When you install IIS on your Windows 7 or Server 2008 you need to make sure to include the following components:

Web Server (IIS) 7

Common HTTP Features

  • Static Content
  • Application Development
  • ASP.NET
  • .NET Extensibility
  • ISAPI Extensions
  • ISAPI Filters

Security

  • Basic Authentication
  • Windows Authentication
  • Request Filtering

Management Tools

  • IIS Management Console
  • IIS Management Scripts and Tools

Management Service

  • IIS 6 Management Compatibility
  • IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility

Hopefully this will be helpful. More information can be found in ESRI’s online help at http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/install_gds/dotnet/ArcGIS_Server.htm
