Additional Information
The authorization of ArcGIS Server-type ECP licenses is by design requirements generic because there are various levels of ArcGIS Server all with various functionalities attributed to them, but all with the same style authorization code and license model. The Software Authorization Wizard requires this generic approach when dealing with ArcGIS Server licenses (which contain the SDE line).Workaround
- Use the correct license.
- Create the database manually in SQL Server Management and use the Enable Geodatabse tool to license the geodatabase.
