ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop licenses (ESU123456789) support the ability to upgrade a currently installed and authorized system from 10.0 to 10.1. This means that if you simply uninstall ArcGIS Desktop 10.0, then install ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1, you can use the workflow below to easily upgrade your license.
How to Upgrade ArcGIS for Desktop - Single Use
- Uninstall ArcGIS Desktop 10.0 (without deauthorization of the license).
- Install ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1.
- When prompted to upgrade licenses, click 'Yes' to complete the upgrade process.
NOTE: A license can only be upgraded if it is current on maintenance. If this process fails, contact Esri Customer Service to verify that the account is current on maintenance.
If the above step has been already skipped and the system's installed licenses need to upgraded your 10.1, follow this workflow:
- Launch ArcGIS Administrator.
- Select Support Operations.
- Click 'Upgrade Now..'.
- If an internet connection is available:
- a. Chose the online authorization/upgrade option.
- b. Your licenses will be entered automatically.
- c. Follow the prompts to complete the upgrade.
- If an internet connection is not available:
- a. Chose the offline authorization/upgrade option.
- b. Your licenses will be entered automatically.
- c. This generates an upgrade/authorization file.
- d. Upload the result to Esri Customer Care.
- e. Double-click the resulting license file and follow the prompts in the Software Authorization Wizard to complete the authorization.
Common Issues
- Authorization limits remain in effect for 10.1 as they exist at 10.0. Thus, customers that currently have 5 licenses at 10.0 that were upgraded to 10.1 licenses, have 5 upgrades available, but 0 available for new deployments.
- It is not possible to authorize licenses beyond the limits of your account. Check the Customer Care Portal to ensure that you are not exceeding your available authorizations.
