Getting Started
Creating an Esri Global Account
1. The first step in the process of installing and registering ArcGIS 10.1 is to ensure that you have an Esri Global Account. An Esri Global Account is required to download your software. If you do not already have an account, you can create one on the Esri Customer Care site.
3 3. Upon clicking the Create Account button you will be advised on a successful Esri Global Account creation
4
Validating your Tokens and Downloading ArcGIS 10.1 product(s)
To activate your license management permissions on the Customer Service site, or to gain organization access to the Esri Customer Care Portal, we need to link your Global Account to your Esri customer number. Please use the token supplied to you by Esri Customer Service. You will only need to perform this action once. The Token is a 12 character string and may already be filled in for you.
5 2. After your token information is verified, you can move onto the Esri Customer Care site where you can
download your software, view your authorization numbers, as well as creating provisioning files. The options you have available on the Esri Customer Care Portal are dependent on the type of user account and permissions you are entitled to.
Provisioning File: Combines a set of authorization numbers into a single file that is sent to the user and can be uploaded directly into the Software Authorization Wizard. This can be created by the Administrator of the Enterprise Activation Server or via the Customer Care Web site.
Authorization Number: A three-letter, 9-digit number (ABC123456789) used by Esri to create an authorization file to enable your software. Every Concurrent Use, Single Use and server product, including their extensions or options, has a unique authorization number. Authorization numbers are entered into the Software Authorization Wizard (along with your name, address, etc.) to authorize your software for use. Concurrent use authorization numbers begin with EFL, Single Use - ESU, Single Use enterprise - EEA, and server - ECP.
6 Basic (formerly ArcView) Single Use authorization number, you will only be able to download ArcGIS Desktop files.
Although there are many benefits to using the download method to obtain your ArcGIS 10.1 software, we realize this is not always possible. If you would like to receive a physical installation media, please
complete the order form.
4. Select the products you want to install, and proceed to the download page:

Authorizing ArcMap 10.1 Single Use Using an Authorization Number
It is important to note that there are two methods available for authorizing your Single Use Software: 1. Using an Authorization number;
2. Creating a provisioning file on the Esri Customer Care site:
Creating a provisioning file allows you to authorize a number of Single Use licenses at once. Provisioning files are especially useful for an organization that has a large number of licenses and removes the need to duplicate the authorization process for each single use installation. A provisioning file is a text file that can be pre-populated with user information and authorization numbers for the authorization process. For more information on Provisioning files, please read the following articles:

ArcGIS 10.0 License Transfer and/or Upgrade:
With the ArcGIS 10.1 release Esri has made License transfer and upgrade process easier than ever before. As an example we are going to review a scenario where you might have one or more ArcGIS 10.0 products
currently authorized on the license server running ArcGIS License Manager 10.0:
Transferring ArcGIS 10.0 Concurrent Use licenses to ArcGIS License Manager 10.1
With ArcGIS 10.1 you no longer need to Deauthorize your existing ArcGIS product licenses prior to transferring them over to ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 if you are installing it on the same license server, where your current license manager is setup. All that has to be done in this case in order to ensure that your existing 9.x and/or 10.0 client continue working with the new ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 is to get it installed on the current license server where your licenses are presently authorized. Please refer to the Setting up the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 section of this document for detailed instructions on the License Manager setup.37 Your existing ArcGIS 9.x and/or ArcGIS 10.0 clients should be able to continue consuming software licenses from the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1.
Upgrading ArcGIS 10.0 Concurrent Use License to ArcGIS 10.1 release
NOTE: Any Borrowed licenses must be returned back to the license pool before they can be upgraded.
Nevertheless, this can be done at a later time and will not prevent you from upgrading other licenses currently available within your License Manager. Current license status can be monitored in the ArcGIS License Server
Administrator 10.1 > Availability > View License Usage. Any borrowed, transferred or checked out licenses
are displayed there. In addition, if there were any orphan licenses checked out by a client workstation and never returned back to the pool for any reason (e.g. application hang, system crash, etc.), those can be pulled back by using Force Checkin button under the View License Usage > Checked Out tab:
Now that you have successfully installed ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 and transferred your existing ArcGIS 10.0 licenses to it (done automatically), being an existing Esri customer current on maintenance, you may be eligible for a license upgrade from ArcGIS 10.0 to ArcGIS 10.1. To confirm your eligibility for upgrade, please contact Esri Canada Customer Care.
Below are the steps required in order to upgrade your ArcGIS 10.0 licenses to ArcGIS 10.1 release:
1. Open ArcGIS License Server Administrator 10.1 and click on the Authorize folder on the left-hand side to select it.
39 Alternatively, if you do not have a ready access to the Internet from the workstation where your License Manager is installed, you may opt out to use the ‘Upgrade at Esri’s website or by email to receive your upgrade response file’ option, also referred to as an Offline Upgrade. Please refer to the ‘Performing an Offline Upgrade of ArcGIS 10.0 Concurrent Use License to ArcGIS 10.1’ section of this document for further details.
4. The Upgrade Engine will gather information about licenses presently authorized on the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 that are eligible for an upgrade to 10.1 release and display them in the list:
40 6. Once you are satisfied with the selection and the number of licenses to be upgraded for each ArcGIS
product, click Next>. A progress bar will be displayed.
41 8. License Manager will re-read the licenses, and the newly upgraded licenses will show up under Availability
folder in the ArcGIS License Server Administrator 10.1.
Performing an Offline Upgrade of ArcGIS 10.0 Concurrent Use License to ArcGIS 10.1
Below are the steps required in order to upgrade your ArcGIS 10.0 Concurrent Use licenses to ArcGIS 10.1 release in an offline mode:1. Open ArcGIS License Server Administrator 10.1 and click on the Authorize folder on the left-hand side to select it.
42 3. Select Upgrade at Esri’s website of by email to receive your upgrade response file option and hit
Next>:
4. The Upgrade Engine will gather information about licenses presently authorized on the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 that are eligible for an upgrade to 10.1 release and display them in the list:
43 a. Go to the https://service.esri.com/drm web-site to generate an Upgrade Response file
(proceed to the next step for further details);
OR
b. Email the ‘authorize.txt’ file to the [email protected] to receive the Upgrade Response file back (it will be emailed to the e-mail address you had specified during the software
authorization process)
6. Uploading the ‘authorize.txt’ file to the Esri Customer Service web-site is generally faster and more
44 7. Once the file has been uploaded successfully, you will see a prompt allowing you to either open the file or
save it. Click on the Save button (a view in Windows 7 is shown on the screenshot below).
8. Once the ‘Authorization.resps’ has been saved, go to the directory where you saved it to and double-click on the file. This will launch the Software Authorization Wizard. Make sure that the I have received an
45 9. The Upgrade Engine will complete the upgrade process based on the information in the RESPS file, and
you will be advised on the successful authorization process completion. Click Finish to exit the Authorization Wizard.
46
Upgrading ArcGIS 10.0 Single Use License to ArcGIS 10.1 release
Automatic license upgrade functionality has been introduced at ArcGIS 10.1, which allows for a much easier license upgrade process. Instead of deauthorizing older licenses and authorizing the latest version, users can convert their existing 10.0 licenses to 10.1 using the one-step upgrade option.
1. Uninstall ArcGIS 10.0 Desktop without Deauthorizing your existing licenses either manually through Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs & Features (Windows 7) OR using ArcGIS 10.1 Uninstall Utility:
2. Install ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop.
47 4. Upon successful Upgrade process completion, a notification will be displayed and the ArcGIS Administrator
will pop-up showing your newly upgraded licenses.
48
Authorizing ArcGIS 9.x Floating licenses to ArcGIS License Manager 10.1
With the ArcGIS Desktop 10.0 release Esri adopted FLEXERA FlexNet Publisher (FNP) Trusted Storage encrypted license activation and fulfillment token exchange. All the ArcGIS Desktop 10 products (except the legacy Workstation) are FNP Trusted Storage enabled. "Legacy" ArcGIS 9.x products make no use of the Trusted Storage token exchanges and will simply continue to consume license authorizations from the new ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager as in prior version. Consequently, if you need to continue supporting your 9.x clients along with ArcGIS 10.0 and/or 10.1 clients upon upgrading to ArcGIS License Manager 10.1, you have two options:
1) Continue to maintain a stand-alone ArcGIS License Manager 9.x instance on a separate server (ArcGIS License Manager 10.0/10.1 and ArcGIS License Manager 9.x cannot reside on the same workstation);
2) Authorize available 10.1 licenses on your ArcGIS License Manager 10.1, and point your ArcGIS 9.x clients to the new license server. The 10.1 licenses should be made available on the Esri Customer Care Portal based on the 9.x license count that are current on maintenance, which will determine their eligibility for ArcGIS 10.1 upgrade. If you don’t see the 10.1 licenses corresponding to your 9.x seats on the Esri Customer Care Portal, please contact Esri Canada Customer Care for further assistance.
NOTE: The ArcGIS 9.x clients will not be able to borrow licenses from the ArcGIS license Manager
10.1.
In this section, we are going to review ArcGIS 9.x license authorization process on ArcGIS License Manager 10.1. Prior to installing ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 (if performing a License Manager upgrade on the current license server), previous version of ArcGIS License Manager must be removed manually through Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs & Features (Windows 7).
49 Then, as you go through the following screens by clicking Next> button, use the Select All button to select all the components:
Once the old license manager has been uninstalled successfully, go ahead and install the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1. Unlike transitioning from ArcGIS License Manager 10.0 to ArcGIS License Manager 10.1, the process of transferring ArcGIS 9.x licenses will require manual authorization using the ArcGIS License Server Administrator 10.1. To do so:
1) Contact Esri Canada Customer Care to request version 10.1 authorization numbers based on your current 9.x license eligibility;
50 3) Click on the Authorization folder on the left-hand side to select it and select 10.1/CE 2012 from the
Version drop-down list (do not get confused with the 9.x option in the drop-down list which is primarily
used to authorize 9.x extensions that had been depreciated in ArcGIS 10.0, as we will discuss in the following section) on the right pane and click the Authorize Now button:
4) Follow through the wizard in the same manner as it has been discussed in previous sections; 5) Once the authorization is complete double-check the ArcGIS Desktop Administrator on the client
51
NOTE: Once the ArcGIS Desktop Administrator 9.x has been been updated to point to the ArcGIS
License Manager 10.1 server as outlined above, you can go under Availability section to check for available licenses. ArcGIS 9.x clients up until version 9.3 (inclusive) will not be able to read the license availability count from the ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager, and therefore will show zeros under Licenses and Available fields (as shown on the graphic below). Despite that, as long as the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 has been properly configured, has licenses available, and all the necessary exceptions have been made to allow flawless communication through Windows Firewall, ArcGIS 9.x client
52 6) Your 9.x client application should now be able to seamlessly consume ArcGIS licenses from the new
53
Authorizing Legacy ArcGIS Products/Extensions on ArcGIS License Manager 10.1
Since ArcGIS 10.0 release there were several ArcGIS Extensions that have been either depreciated or integrated into core ArcGIS package. Selected products that are being incorporated or retired will not be upgraded to 10.1:
ArcScan for ArcGIS (included in ArcGIS for Desktop Basic, Standard and Advanced at ArcGIS 10.1); Maplex for ArcGIS (included in ArcGIS for Desktop Basic, Standard and Advanced at ArcGIS 10.1); ArcGIS Schematics (included with ArcGIS 10.1 for Server Standard and Advanced);
The licenses for retired products (Image Server, ArcIMS, COGO, and ArcInfo Workstation) will continue to work under the 10.0 license at 10.1;
ArcGIS Survey Analyst (Extension is no longer available as of ArcGIS 10.0);
NOTE: Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2005, and VBA ArcObjects SDK are no longer supported at 10.1.
Next, we are going to review some of the common authorization scenarios. Since the extension authorization process is similar to the core software license authorization discussed in previous sections with just a few slight changes, here we are going to review the process of Extension Authorization using Concurrent Use License authorization number as an example.
Authorizing ArcScan and/or Maplex Extensions for ArcGIS 9.x/10.0 Clients on ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 Since both 9.x and 10.0 clients can consume ArcGIS 10.0 licenses (including extensions, except for ArcGIS Survey Analyst that will be discussed separately in the following section), you may use 10.0 authorization numbers to authorize the ArcScan and/or Maplex extensions on ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 to be served to the aforementioned clients. To perform the extension authorization in ArcGIS License Manager 10.1, follow the steps below:
1) ArcGIS Concurrent Use products need to be authorized in the License Server Administrator. You can access the License Server Administrator from Start > Programs > ArcGIS > License Manager >
License Server Administrator. On UNIX/Linux, you can run License Server Administrator from the
installation location using the following command: <installation_path>/arcgis/license10.1/LSAdmin. 2) Click on the Authorization folder on the left-hand side to get it selected, choose the 10.0 version from
54 3) Select the I have already authorized core licenses and need to authorize additional extensions
under the Authorization Options section, select ArcGIS Desktop under the Product to be
55 4) Select Authorize with Esri now using the Internet:
56 6) At this point you will be presented with a list of optional extensions to be authorized. If you would like to
57 7) Upon successful authorization completion a respective notification will be displayed.
8) Your 9.x and 10.0 clients should now be ready to consume licenses for the ArcScan and/or Maplex extensions.
Authorizing ARC/INFO Workstation on ArcGIS License Manager 10.1
NOTE: Please refer to the Esri KB 40394 “FAQ: Can ARC/INFO Workstation operate with Concurrent
58 Windows ARC/INFO Workstation 9.3 and above can be operated with 10.1 Concurrent Use licenses. For each seat of Windows ARC/INFO Workstation 9.2 and older to be maintained, an ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced (formerly ArcInfo) 10.0 Concurrent Use license must remain on the ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager.
Alternatively, a separate License Manager with 10.0 licenses can be set up for operating Windows ARC/INFO Workstation 9.2 and older. With the above said, if you are planning upgrade your existing ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced (formerly ArcInfo) 10.0 licenses to version 10.1, you should evaluate your ARC/INFO Workstation 9.2 and older license requirements and leave an ample number of ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced (formerly ArcInfo) 10.0 licenses as-is prior to performing the license upgrade. If you have any additional questions regarding licensing policies, please contact Esri Canada Customer Care.
NOTE: There is a known bug# NIM081843 "Not able to use ArcInfo Single Use V 10.1 license with ArcInfo Workstation v10".
Authorizing ArcGIS Survey Analyst for ArcGIS 9.x clients on ArcGIS License Manager 10.1
ArcGIS Survey Analyst Extension is no longer available as of ArcGIS 10.0. Nonetheless, existing ArcGIS 9.x clients may still have to access the aforementioned extension. You can authorize the ArcGIS Survey Analyst license on your ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 and serve it to the ArcGIS 9.x clients. To authorize the
extension using a Concurrent Use authorization number:
1) Contact Esri Canada Customer Care to request authorization number(s) for the ArcGIS Survey Analyst Extension based on your current 9.x license eligibility;
2) Open ArcGIS License Server Administrator 10.1 from Start > Programs > ArcGIS > License Manager;
3) Click on the Authorization folder on the left-hand side to select it and select 9.x from the Version drop-down list on the right pane and click the Authorize Now button:
59 5) Upon successful authorization completion your ArcGIS 9.x clients should be able to seamlessly
consume ArcGIS Survey Analyst Extension license(s) from the new ArcGIS License Manager 10.1. If you run into any problems, please contact Esri Canada Technical Support.

ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 Installation and Configuration
Setting up the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1
NOTE: ArcGIS 10.1 License Manager Quick Start Guide is available from Esri Resource Center.
In order to be able to authorize any ArcGIS Concurrent Use licenses you have to install and configure ArcGIS License Manager 10.1. You only need one ArcGIS license server per network to manage all your concurrent use ArcGIS 10.x and 9.x software products. Please note that the license files at version 9.x or earlier will not
