HOW TO
When enabling extensions with the "Configure your licensing options" window in ArcGIS Pro, the configuration is saved into keys in the Registry Editor, but exclusively for a specific user. This means that if a second user signs in to the same machine with their login information, they would need to enable the extensions again which causes the previous configuration to be lost and affects people who share machines, such as in educational institutions.
The registry key created is saved in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive in the Registry Editor, which is a configuration exclusive to the active session and is not shared as a configuration of the machine for all users.
Note: The following steps involve making changes to the Windows Registry on one or more network machines and may require admin access.
Warning: The instructions below include making changes to essential parts of your operating system. It is recommended that you backup your operating system and files, including the registry, before proceeding. Consult with a qualified computer systems professional, if necessary. Esri cannot guarantee results from incorrect modifications while following these instructions; therefore, use caution and proceed at your own risk.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Licensing\Extensions
There are three methods to apply the file and once it is added, the extensions are enabled without opening the "Configure your licensing options" window from ArcGIS Pro again. This file can be applied every time it is required:
Adding information can unintentionally change or delete values and cause components to stop working correctly. If you do not trust the source of this information in <file>.reg, do not add it to the registry. Are you sure you want to continue?
reg import <file>.reg
As an example:
reg import C:\Users\car97467\Desktop\Extensions.reg
