Configuring and Managing ArcGIS Licensing Portals with URL Manager Pro

As an administrator of an ArcGIS Enterprise organization, it's crucial to configure and manage your licensing portals effectively. In this article, we will explore how to set up a backup ArcGIS License Server Administrator for your licensing portal using URL Manager Pro.

Configure a Backup ArcGIS License Server Administrator

If you want to add another portal to your existing setup, you can do so by clicking the 'Add Portal' button. To connect to a different portal, simply right-click on the portal's URL and select 'Set As Active Portal.' You can view all available portals by navigating to the Project tab and selecting 'Portals.'

Signing In to Your Licensing Portal

If you're working in ArcGIS Pro but see a 'Not signed in' indication in the corner of the application, it may indicate that you need to sign in to the portal containing your content. To do this, simply enter your credentials and click 'Sign In.' Once you've successfully signed in, ArcGIS Pro will continue to connect to your licensing portal during each startup.

Authorizing Your Licensing Portal

To authorize your licensing portal, select 'I have received an authorization file from Esri' and browse to the license (.json) file that is used to license your portal. From there, select 'Named User' from the Version drop-down menu and click 'Authorize Now.' This will complete the authorization process.

Optional Backup ArcGIS License Server Administrator Configuration

You can also optionally configure your portal with a backup ArcGIS License Server Administrator. However, it's essential to note that only one portal can use this administrator at any given time. Be sure to specify the correct portal when configuring your licensing portal, as this will determine which portal manages licenses for members of your organization.

Provisioning ArcGIS Pro Licenses

To provision ArcGIS Pro licenses to members of your ArcGIS Enterprise organization, you'll need to configure ArcGIS Pro licenses using your organization's ArcGIS License Server Administrator. This can be done by purchasing and downloading a license file through My Esri.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your licensing portals are properly configured and managed, allowing you to provision ArcGIS Pro licenses effectively for members of your organization.
