Bug

Cancelling the selection of ArcMap extensions fails on client computers when License Server Administrator does not have the selected extensions licensed. This creates benign but recurring errors in the License Server Administrator log file every time ArcMap is opened.

Workaround

Authorize the ArcGIS Tracking Analyst extension license in License Server Administrator, and then reopen ArcMap on the client computer, and clear the extension check box.Alternatively, use the registry hack to remove check marks on client computers:[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-484763869-1958367476-725345543-235044\Software\ESRI\Desktop10.1\ArcMap\Extensions]"{D53BF20F-24FB-11D4-B34C-00104BA2ABCC}"=dword:00000002dword:00000002 - Check mark offdword:00000001 - Check mark onWhen attempting to turn on the extension even though no license is available in the License Manager (LM), the registry gets set to 1, indicating the extension is enabled, and in each subsequent start of ArcMap, it hits the LM looking for the Tracking Analyst extension. This works for other extensions as well.
