Authorizing a deployment license
To obtain a license code snippet, also known as authorizing a deployment pack (for a Standard license) or authorizing a Basic license, you use a software authorization number, as described in the following steps. A license code snippet includes one or more license strings.
- If you haven't already, install ArcGIS Runtime SDK.
- After you've installed ArcGIS Runtime SDK, launch the Software Authorization Wizard in Linux, for Java, by clicking Application Launcher button > Applications > Runtime SDK for Java 1.0 > ArcGIS > Runtime Tools > Software Authorization Wizard 1.0 or for Qt by clicking Application Launcher button > Applications > ArcGIS > Runtime SDK for Qt 1.0 > Runtime Tools > Software Authorization Wizard 1.0.
- In the first wizard panel, in the Authorization Options area, choose the authorization option appropriate to your needs:
If you have a software authorization number
Click I have installed my software and need to authorize it. Click Next. The Authorization Method panel displays. Skip to step 4.
If you need to authorize additional extensions using your software authorization number
Click I have received an authorization file from Esri and need to authorize additional extensions. Click Next. The Authorization Method panel displays. Skip to step 4.
If you have an authorization file from Esri (.asr, .prvc, .respc, or .ecp file)
Click I have received an authorization file from Esri and am now ready to finish the authorization process then click Browse, navigate to and select the authorization file, click Open. Click Next.
- In the Authorization Method panel:
If you are connected to the Internet and selected an authorization file in step 3
Click Authorize with Esri now using the Internet. Click Next.
In this panel and the next, provide information about yourself.
In the Software Authorization Number panel, the text box will be filled out for you with a code. Click Next, then skip to step 5.
If you are connected to the Internet and do not have an authorization file
Click Authorize with Esri now using the Internet. Click Next.
In this panel and the next, provide information about yourself.
In the Software Authorization Number panel, in the text box, type the software authorization number (the code you received from Esri—it should be similar to ABC123456789—for information on how to get the number, see the software authorization number). Click Next, then skip to step 5.
If you are not connected to the Internet and do not have an authorization file
Click Authorize at Esri website or by mail to receive your authorization file. Click Next.
In this panel and the next, provide information about yourself.
In the Software Authorization Number panel, in the text box, type the software authorization number (the code you received from Esri—it should be similar to ABC123456789—for information on how to get the number, see the software authorization number). Click Next, then skip to step 5.
- The Authorization Complete panel displays, indicating you have successfully authorized the deployment pack. Click Finish to close the wizard. You are now ready to obtain the license code snippet and add it to your project, which will license your application.
