Activation Guide
Activating is Easy
Summary
The first time you run SQL for ArcGIS® Pro it will raise an Activation dialog. Enter the license serial number to activate the license on that computer. It's that easy.
Activation authorizes that computer and removes authorization for that license from any other computers.
Requirements
- You must have a valid SQL for ArcGIS Pro serial number to activate SQL for ArcGIS Pro.
- The system must be connected to Internet, and must be allowed to contact Manifold's servers.
- You must have downloaded and installed SQL for ArcGIS Pro.
- Installation requires Esri ArcGIS® Pro version 2.8 or more recent on the same machine.
If something unexpected happens during activation, do not persist. Instead, get help using free Activation Support.
How to Activate
Activation allows each license to run on a single computer system.
- Install SQL for ArcGIS Pro following the instructions in the Install SQL for ArcGIS Pro User Manual topic.
- Launch ArcGIS Pro, and then launch the SQL for ArcGIS Pro add-in. If the license has yet to be activated, an Activation dialog will pop open.
- In the Activation dialog, enter your SQL for ArcGIS Pro serial number. To avoid errors, copy the serial number from the original serial number email message and paste it into the dialog.
- Press the button to activate.
A license can be moved from one computer system to another, or re-activated on the same system after major hardware or Windows system changes. See the About Activation page for how that works.
Additional Users
The procedure above activates the license for whatever user login was used during activation. You can activate the license for other user logins without using up any more of the license's activations.
If someone else logs into that same machine using a different login and launches the add-in, the Activation dialog will pop open for them. They can activate SQL for ArcGIS Pro for their login by entering the serial number. Activating for another user login on the same computer will not use up any more of the license's activations.
Serial Numbers
Serial numbers are sent by email when a license is purchased. If you have not received the serial number email, check your email system's spam folder, or for other Email Problems.
If you do not have a valid SQL for ArcGIS Pro serial number you can procure a license on the Online Store to obtain a serial number. If you lost your serial number, you may or may not be able to recover it by purchasing a Key Recovery service product.
See the About Activation page for a a quick discussion about how activations grow back after use, so they can be used again and again, for example, to move a license to a different computer or to re-activate after major system changes on the same computer.
Troubleshooting
- Check your computer's date and time to make sure it is reasonably accurate.
