ArcGIS 10.1 is a major release of the popular geographic information system (GIS) software from Esri. It introduces new features and enhancements, such as 64-bit processing, Python scripting, web editing, and online analysis. To use ArcGIS 10.1, you need to install and authorize the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1, which manages the concurrent use licenses for ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Engine products.
In this article, we will explain how to download and install the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 prerelease version, which is compatible with ArcGIS 10.1 beta and prerelease versions. We will also provide some tips and troubleshooting steps for common issues.
The ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 prerelease version is available for download from the Esri Customer Care Portal. To access the portal, you need to have an Esri account and be a member of an organization that has purchased ArcGIS products.

Once you log in to the portal, you can follow these steps to download the ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 prerelease version:
The ArcGIS License Manager 10.1 prerelease version can be installed on a machine where ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Engine will be run, or on a separate machine where only the license manager will be installed.
