The issue I'm having is this: I have installed ArcGIS Pro on several computers in a class lab. I have licensed the software with a single-use license on each computer, but if any other user but myself tries to open the software, it says it is not licensed. I have also tried a concurrent license with the same issue. We do not have named user licenses available to us.

Something is missing. If you authorize a Single Use license on a machine, any user on the machine should be able to start Pro using the Single Use license. Can you provide a screen shot or the error after attempting to start with another user?

Well, I suppose I got it figured out. I deleted the program, reinstalled, and licensed it. For reasons that I do not understand, it prompts AGOL login when opening the program and the user logging in has to have an ArcGIS Professional Advanced user type (or is it role?) for it to work. This makes no sense to me because a single use license should not require an AGOL account (right?) and it should work across users, but hey, it's functioning well enough for now.

By default, Pro will start with the AGOL Named User licensing type. If you're a new user, it will start there. When you proceed to configure it for Single Use and start Pro using the Single Use license type. Then next time you start Pro, it will start in Single Use mode. Pro will start with the licensing type used when it last closed. Each user will have his/her own profile. User A can start Pro with Named User type while user B may start Pro with Single Use. In your case, you installed Pro and authorized it with Single Use license. Pro starts using the Single Use license. Another user logs into the system. If that person starts Pro for the first time, Pro will start with the default AGOL Named User type. Click on the "Configure Licensing" option at the bottom of the dialogue. In the Configure Authorization dialogue, choose the Single Use License option in the drop down menu for License Type. It should display the authorized Single Use licenses. Click OK to start Pro. The next time the user starts Pro, it will start in Single Use mode.

I have looked at the ESRI documentation but alas it is really poor -reference/summarize-elevation.htmshould work but just submits a jobUsing in ArcGIS Pro/ArcMap but you can only identify, looking at fiddler the response/request isn't easily reproducible.

Alternative options are Open Elevation which is the opposite of ESRI documentation it couldnt be simpler but alas the baseline dataset isnt high enough quality: -elevation.com/api/v1/lookup?locations=41.161758,-8.583933

As always (and this is the hard part really) you need to know what you are looking for. What you want is to do a identify on an ImageService. In short, this is the link to the correct part of the documentation: -reference/identify-image-service-.htm

If I Google for "topobathy arcgis rest" I get this page where it is explained you need an ArcGIS Online subscription to view the data... So you need to find out what the cost is and determine if this is worth it for your case.

Want to make your ArcGIS apps easier to access for your customers? In this first part of our two-part blog post series, Esri Canada technical solutions specialist Brianna Kelly and solution architect John Osborne take you through a step-by-step process for configuring single sign-on so that you can simplify user management and security.

Using an approved sales authorization, which grants qualified partners the right to include Esri technology as part of their commercial offering, partners can take advantage of Partner User Types: ArcGIS identities exclusive to Esri business partners than can be used in your ArcGIS applications.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to configure SAML logins in ArcGIS Enterprise with Auth0, an IAM system popular among developers. Many of the concepts discussed in these tutorials will also apply to other IAMs supported by ArcGIS Enterprise.

The steps in this blog post series are available on GitHub. The repository on GitHub also includes optional steps mentioned in this blog post. In the second part of this blog post series, we demonstrate how to build a single sign-on web application.

Although these two blog posts are directed towards our business partner community and focus on Partner User Types in ArcGIS Enterprise, the steps outlined in this series can be used by the greater Esri user community. They apply to all ArcGIS user types on either ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online.

These steps define the minimal configuration parameters required to invite Auth0 users to join your ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Auth0 users will join automatically when they log in to ArcGIS Enterprise portal for the first time. If you prefer to invite Auth0 users, view the Portal for ArcGIS help topic Add members to your portal. Further configuration steps are continued in Part 3.

The Auth0 identity username and profile is now properly encoded in the SAML assertion returned to ArcGIS Enterprise. For more information on this topic, review the Auth0 help topic Customize SAML Assertions.

While encrypting the SAML assertion is not necessary to complete this tutorial, it is a recommended best practice for securing production environments. To encrypt the assertion, an Auth Pipeline Rule must be configured in the Auth0 Dashboard. To learn more about Auth Pipeline Rules, visit the Auth0 help topic Sign and Encrypt SAML Requests. The additional steps required to encrypt the assertion are included in the GitHub repository associated with this blog.

Signing the SAML request sent by ArcGIS Enterprise to Auth0 helps to secure the transactions between each environment. You can further secure this communication by encrypting the assertion created by Auth0. Finally, ArcGIS Enterprise is now configured to notify Auth0 when a user logs out of ArcGIS Enterprise.

Cal Poly Pomona will now be using Single Sign-On for all new accounts created for the CPP ArcGIS Online organization! The feature will allow for easier & quicker account deployments, additional security, and one fewer password to remember. You can begin by navigating to the URL or if you type in 'pomona' into the blank field for the option to login with 'Your organization's URL' on www.arcgis.com as indicated below. Clicking on the "California State Polytechnic University, Pomona" button will finally get you logged in via SSO.

Please do not be concerned about any data loss or other changes with this new feature. All existing accounts, and data, are still available on AGOL when logging in using the 'ArcGIS login' option. This new feature will solely apply to new requests for accounts.

For now, there is no mandate for existing users to migrate to using SSO for AGOL, but it is recommended when convenient for you. When ready to migrate, please email the GIS administrator with your old and new username and a transfer will be completed (transfer may take up to 20 minutes), after being contacted to confirm the request. After confirming all information has been transferred, the old account will be disabled and eventually removed from the organization.

Unfortunately, any custom profile information (i.e. profile picture, Bio, etc.), affiliation with groups, and folder structures will not be automatically transferred. Please indicate the groups you wish to be added back to, or restore ownership of, and those changes will be made. If you were sharing content with a group, you may need to reshare that content back to the group. If your account contains many tens of files, or more, with complex folder structures, a scheduled appointment may be necessary to strategize your migration at a future date.

ArcGIS is software for working with geographical information provided by ESRI. The university has purchased a site license for the software and has set up the license server zod.unfcsd.unf.edu (arcgis-lic.unfcsd.unf.edu) to manage those licenses, but students will have to download the ArcGIS Desktop Student Trial with the authorization number provided by their instructor.

Intergraph (which created GeoMedia) recently merged with ERDAS (which created IMAGINE), and so the licensing process has merged. Students will need to go through the Intergraph license server to license ERDAS IMAGINE and GeoMedia. There will be 150 "single node-locked" (e.g. single-use single-computer) licenses acquired. Dr. Baynard will manage the distribution of the LACs (License Authentication Codes) to students, but ITS will support students who have issues with the licensing itself.
