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.

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.
