Update Enterprise Geodatabase License (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Updates the ArcGIS Server license in an enterprise geodatabase.

If your organization licenses ArcGIS Server for a set time period, the geodatabase administrator can run the Update Enterprise Geodatabase License tool with a new ArcGIS Server authorization file to update license information in the geodatabase before the existing license expires. This allows clients to continue working with the geodatabase without interruptions caused by expired licenses.

Usage

  • The input workspace must be an enterprise geodatabase. This tool does not work with any other type of geodatabase.

  • You must connect to the enterprise geodatabase as the geodatabase administrator to run this tool.
