<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For additional information go to: <a
href="https://customers.esri.com/index.cfm?event=general.dspHelp&topic=authorizations">https://customers.esri.com/index.cfm?event=general.dspHelp&topic=authorizations</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
