How is ArcGIS Enterprise licensed?

ArcGIS Enterprise is licensed through a combination of named user licenses, concurrent use licenses, and additional extension licenses. This tiered licensing model allows organizations to choose the most suitable licensing structure based on their specific needs and usage patterns.

Named user licenses are assigned to individual users, granting them the ability to access various functionalities and tools available within ArcGIS Enterprise. This is ideal for organizations where users frequently require access to the system's capabilities.

Concurrent use licenses, on the other hand, allow a set number of users to access the software at the same time, making it a flexible option for organizations with varying usage demands. This approach is often beneficial for temporary projects or teams with fluctuating membership.

Additionally, organizations can acquire extension licenses for specialized functionalities or advanced features that enhance the basic capabilities of ArcGIS Enterprise, further tailoring the system to meet specific project needs or workflows.

Overall, this combination of licensing options ensures that organizations can effectively manage their resources and costs while utilizing the robust features of ArcGIS Enterprise to support their geographic information systems.
