Hi there
Are ArcMap licenses per open instance of ArcMap or per computer machine? From today’s experience I believe it must be the former.
If it is the former, is there any way of having ArcEditor and ArcView licenses in use on the same PC? So one session might be an editor session and the other five sessions view sessions
I'm currently working on multiple maps and as a result need multiple MXDs open because ArcMap currently does not support multiple layout windows, although the idea is under consideration by ESRI.
My organisation has four ArcEditor licenses and even more ArcView licenses. In the license manager I am set up as an editor.
I found today that whenever I tried to have any more than three MXDs open at any one time, they would open and then quit out without any error message what so ever. I assume something else had ArcMap open and I was exceeding the ArcEditor license restriction. Interestingly though if I had two MXDs open and opened a third it would work but if from Windows Explorer I opened two MXDs, whilst having two already open, both would open and then quit, even though technically there was one license free.
If I could have multiple license types then I could do edits in one file with an ArcEditor license and do all the layout work for each location in question with an ArcView license. I am working in 10.0 SP4.
