Workaround

1. Start ArcCatalog or open the Catalog window in ArcMap and expand GIS Servers.2. Double-click 'Add ArcGIS Server'.3. Select the default 'Use GIS Services' on the first screen of the Add ArcGIS Server wizard and click Next.4. Copy and paste the following in the Server URL box: <a href="https://geocode.arcgis.com:443/arcgis/services/" target="_blank">https://geocode.arcgis.com:443/arcgis/services/</a>5. Enter the username and password. 6. Click Finish.7. Once connected, two folders appears, one of them called World, where the locators are available from this service.8. When Geocoding the addresses, add this connection from the Choose an Address Locator to Use window. (Follow the same process as before, but this time rather than using the World Geocoding Service (ArcGIS Online), add this new connection and use that.)9. The Geocode Addresses: World dialog box opens. Leave the default values for the “customers” table, keep as static snapshot of table inside new feature class, and confirm with OK.
