ATN provides a central license management service for both the ESRI and ERDAS software. The license manager for these products is license0.isis.unc.edu. There are several ways to set up your software so that it will check out licenses from license0.isis.unc.edu.Option 1. During installation. If you are performing a new install of an ESRI (ArcGIS, ArcView, ArcInfo, ArcSDE) or ERDAS (Imagine) product, if prompted to provide a license file you should select the option to use a license manager on the network. You will be prompted for a license server machine name, and you should enter:
license0.isis.unc.eduOption 2. Environment Variable. On any platform you may set an environment variable to point ot the license manager machine. The variable is ESRI_LICENSE_FILE, and you should set the value to:
27005@license0.isis.unc.eduSetting environment variables differs by Operating system. For a PC running Windows 2000, you can set an environment variable by going to Start>settings>control panel>system. Choose the advanced tab in the sustem properties dialog and click on the envronment variables button. Click the New... button under system variables. Enter the Variable Name:ESRI_LICENSE_FILEand the Value:
27005@license0.isis.unc.eduand click OK to close all of the windows. NOTE: You will need administrator priveleges on your machien to set this.
On UNIX machines the method for setting environment variables differs by shell. If you are using BASH, you can use export to set the variable using the syntax:
export ESRI_LICENSE_FILE=27005@license0.isis.unc.eduOther Options If you are running ArcGIS on a Windows NT/2000/XP machine you may set the license manager using the Desktop Administrator application. If you have ArcGIS desktop installed, Desktop Administrator should be available from the ArcGIS folder in the start menu. Select the license manager folder from the ArcGIS desktop administrator dialog and click the change button. Enter license0.isis.unc.edu in the change license manager dialog and click OK to close both dialogs.
