Licensing apps through your portal

Apps can be purchased for your ArcGIS Enterprise organization as part of app bundles and user types, or separately as add-on apps. These apps will be included in your portal license file.

The following sections describe apps that can be used with your ArcGIS Enterprise portal, and how they are licensed.

AppStudio for ArcGIS

AppStudio for ArcGIS allows you to convert maps and GIS data into native apps that can be shared with others in your enterprise or to the public through popular app stores. The apps built with AppStudio are cross-platform—that is, they will run on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms. When AppStudio is included with a member's user type, it provides a low-code solution for creating apps. Members can build apps with configurable app templates, extend templates with custom code, or create apps from scratch. Administrators can also assign members an add-on license for AppStudio for ArcGIS Developer Edition to access advanced app templates and other tools. With this add-on license, members can create a custom stand-alone build of their app suitable for a public app store (App Store or Google Play) or enterprise distribution.

AppStudio for ArcGIS is included with the Essentials Apps Bundle in the core Esri user types, such as GIS Professional, Creator, Editor, Field Worker, and Viewer.AppStudio for ArcGIS Developer Edition is available as an add-on license. Members with included or add-on licenses can access the app from the app launcher or download the software from appstudio.arcgis.com.

Follow the instructions in Manage licenses to view license details and manage member licenses.

The ArcGIS Business Analyst web app requires an add-on license, and each portal member needs a license to use the web app. Follow the instructions in Manage licenses to view license details and manage member licenses.

ArcGIS Configurable Apps

ArcGIS Configurable Apps allow you to build web apps from your web maps, scenes, and groups without having to write code. ArcGIS Configurable Apps are included with the Essentials Apps Bundle in the core Esri user types, such as GIS Professional, Creator, Editor, Field Worker, and Viewer. ArcGIS Configurable Apps are included in the portal and no additional installation is necessary.

ArcGIS Excalibur

ArcGIS Excalibur is a web app that modernizes and enhances image-based workflows through intuitive experiences. These experiences allow you to search, discover, and work with imagery in fully integrated workflows for image analytics and exploitation. ArcGIS Excalibur requires an add-on license and additional installation.

ArcGIS Enterprise Sites

ArcGIS Enterprise Sites allows you to create a tailored web page experience for your users to help you share your portal's authoritative content to other departments. Instead of learning to navigate the portal, members can go directly to the custom web page you create to navigate the content relevant to them. Sites is included with the Essentials Apps Bundle in the core Esri user types, such as GIS Professional, Creator, Editor, Field Worker, and Viewer. No additional installation is necessary.

ArcGIS Insights

ArcGIS Insights is an app you access through your portal that allows you to perform iterative and exploratory data analysis on ArcGIS web services, Excel spreadsheets, and data stored in databases.

ArcGIS Insights requires an add-on license or the Insights Analyst user type, and requires an additional installation. Each portal member needs a license to use Insights. When a member is licensed to use Insights, they will have access to both the Insights web application and ArcGIS Insights Desktop. Follow the instructions in Manage licenses to view license details and manage member licenses.

ArcGIS Maps for Office

ArcGIS Maps for Office (formerly Esri Maps for Office) provides mapping capabilities in Microsoft Office through a Microsoft add-in. You can use this add-in with Microsoft Excel to create maps in your portal that show data from your spreadsheets. Additionally, an add-in for PowerPoint allows you to embed these maps into your presentations.

ArcGIS Maps for Office is included with the Office Apps Bundle in some of the core Esri user types, such as GIS Professional, Creator, or as an add-on license. You can download ArcGIS Maps for Office from the Esri website.

See ArcGIS Maps for Office Supported environments for information on ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

ArcGIS Maps for SharePoint

ArcGIS Maps for SharePoint provides mapping capabilities in Microsoft SharePoint through a Map Web Part for SharePoint pages. You can use this to display content from your portal in your SharePoint pages. It also includes workflows that allow you to spatially enable and geo-enrich SharePoint lists or external data through Business Connectivity Services (BCS).

ArcGIS Maps for SharePoint is included with the Office Apps Bundle in some of the core Esri user types, such as GIS Professional and Creator, or as an add-on license. You can download ArcGIS Maps for SharePoint from the Esri website.

See ArcGIS Maps for SharePoint Supported environments for information on supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

Note:

ArcGIS Maps for SharePoint 3.0 and 3.0.1 are not supported in a disconnected environment. If your organization does not have access to the internet, you can't use these app versions with ArcGIS Enterprise.

ArcGIS Mission Manager

ArcGIS Mission Manager is the web app that allows users to create and interact with missions using ArcGIS Mission, a real-time geospatial communications and situational awareness tool.

ArcGIS Mission Manager requires an add-on license and is installed separately as part of ArcGIS Mission.

ArcGIS Pro

The ArcGIS Pro application is part of ArcGIS Desktop, which has three levels—Desktop Basic, Desktop Standard, and Desktop Advanced—with each level providing additional functionality. Only ArcGIS Pro uses licensing through the organization. Other ArcGIS Desktop applications—ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGlobe, and ArcScene—use the local ArcGIS Administrator application to set levels and extensions.

ArcGIS Pro is included in the GIS Professional user types, or as an add-on license. You can assign a member a license level and enable access to optional extensions that provide specialized tools as well. For a member to use an extension, the member needs both a level and a license for the specific extension product.

When the member to whom you have assigned a license starts ArcGIS Pro and signs in, the application runs with the level and any extensions you specified. However, if you have not specified licensing for a particular member, ArcGIS Pro will not run when that member attempts to sign in. You can reassign licenses as often as necessary, and the resulting changes take effect promptly in ArcGIS Pro. If you completely revoke the license while the member is working in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Pro displays notifications that the software is not authorized and starts the process of closing automatically. After a grace period ends, the member is prompted to save any work and is no longer able to use ArcGIS Pro.

In ArcGIS Pro, a member can check out a license to authorize ArcGIS Pro for use in a disconnected environment. A red box displays next to the member's name when the license is checked out. When a license is checked out, you cannot make any changes or revoke the license. If you select multiple members and at least one member is running ArcGIS Pro in disconnected mode, you cannot configure licenses for any of the selected members.

For organizations requiring more control over offline usage of ArcGIS Pro, an administrator or a member with licensing privileges can prevent all ArcGIS Pro licenses in the organization from being taken offline.

If the device using the checked out license is lost or destroyed, the member will be unable to check out a new license or use ArcGIS Pro in a connected environment. In this case, you'll need to release the checked out license using the ArcGIS Portal Directory. This frees the outstanding license and allows the member to check out a new license or use ArcGIS Pro in a connected environment.

In a connected environment, you can remotely terminate an ArcGIS Pro session. For example, a member is signed in and has ArcGIS Pro actively running on three machines simultaneously (the maximum allowed) but has left the office and now needs to use ArcGIS Pro in the field. Terminating a session allows the member to sign in and start ArcGIS Pro. In addition, if ArcGIS Pro closed in an unexpected manner, you can terminate the session to quickly free the license.

See Configure ArcGIS Pro licenses for instructions to set up licensing through Portal for ArcGIS.

Once ArcGIS Pro licensing is configured, follow the instructions in Manage licenses to view license details and manage member licenses.
