Edit license files in My Esri for Portal for ArcGIS 10.7 and later versions

Summary

This article describes how to edit existing Portal license files to include new User Types, Add-on Applications, etc. without first canceling the license file. This can also be used to change the License Manager hostname and MAC Address, if any Named User licenses are included in the license.

This workflow applies to Portal for ArcGIS versions 10.7 or higher. The user performing this workflow must have permissions to perform licensing actions in My Esri. The basic workflow is as follows:

1. Open current license file.
2. Make the desired changes.
3. My Esri cancels the current license file and creates a new one with the desired changes.

Procedure

1. Log in to My Esri.
2. Go to the Licensing tab and select License Files from the drop-down options menu, as shown in the next image.

3. Select Portal for ArcGIS and Pro from the options bar, shown in the following image.
