Frequently asked question

Is there a way to automatically release or uncheck extension licenses in ArcMap or ArcCatalog?

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Answer

No. If an extension license is checked in ArcMap or ArcCatalog, it must be manually unchecked to release it.

Version 9.3.1 and earlier: Select Tools > Extensions. Uncheck the license to be released.

Version 10.x: Select Customize > Extensions. Uncheck the license to be released.
