Glad you are still keeping an eye out here - but the complete list is a available here. https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/license-manager/latest/feature-names-for-arcgis-option-file.htm ... View more

Assuming you are looking at an "each user may have different license settings" type install, the individual user settings will be available at <MACHINE NAME>\HKEY_USERS\<USER SID>\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Licensing I know someone previously posted "Current User", which is correct, if the user you are trying to modify is indeed the user making the changes, otherwise you are going to have to look up the user's SID in AD or Powershell -  Import-Module ActiveDirectory $User = Read-Host -Prompt 'Input the user name' Get-ADUser -Identity $User But for sheer elegance I like @RichardDaniels front end app and think that Esri should have incorporated the same type application in their deployment.  I also think that they should have returned FlexLM licensing errors more elegantly than just looping the licensing panel back up when there is an error - whether it's max exceeded, user not on include list, or another error - even the raw return provided in Desktop is far better than "Nope, try again". ...

@KoryKramer  - If you ever need copies of our options file, logs, or lmstatus output  let me know - happy to get them to you. ... View more

@KoryKramer Additionally - the way internal funding works here, routine "Checkout exceeds MAX specified in options file" and "Licensed number of users already reached" errors typically prompted business unit GIS managers (after a time) to allocate additional funds to procure additional licenses.  Lack of these errors however results in frustration and the assumption that IT is failing to manage software installs correctly. ...

@KoryKramer - apologies for not monitoring this closer.   The issue is rarely one of not being able to reach/connect to a valid license server. In our enterprise environment, we make great use of the FlexLM options file to create groups containing users and then assign access to those groups to various license levels and extensions.  Numbers of licenses are also capped by group. Any situation where the errors above would have resulted in "Checkout exceeds MAX specified in options file", "User/host not on INCLUDE list for feature", and "Licensed number of users already reached" results in ArcGIS Pro looping back to licensing pane without informing the user as to why it did so. In some business units where license contention is higher, these errors routinely present themselves to users.  Users get frustrated when their expensive GIS software doesn't work.  Frustrated users with zero feedback from the software call our support center.  Our support center (or our users) can't be bothered to look at the license manager log files to see what the real issue is (even though we present the log file and the lmstatus output as a web page for all to see), so that causes an assumption on both the support staff and the end-user that they have a bum install and that re-installing is the fix.  Reinstalls do not correct the issue (but sometimes licenses have become available in the down time).  So we either get in the feedback loop of "Look, the reinstall fixed it" or "Hmm, the reinstall didn't fix it, lets reinstall again" (lather, rinse, repeat) So in short - passing the brief error description, even if it is in the curt and sometimes obtuse language of the license manager is far better than having Pro say to itself (and only itself) "Self, I don't seem to be able to obtain the designated license level and type from the license server. But I am able to connect to the licenses server. What should we do? How about we just present the licensing pane to the end-user? They're smart, they'll know what to do? Yea, let's do that" ...

Akash, Make sure you have the correct drivers installed based on the MS Office Install you have from the decision tree here - https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/excel/prepare-to-work-with-excel-in-arcgis-pro.htm ... View more

Work by John Karagiannis is what you are looking for, although I don't think he has updated any of the ArcSDE tabs since 9.3. Here is the latest link I could find - ArcSDE User Privileges Report (9.3 SP1) , but much of this functionality has been added to the privileges routine in catalog at 10 ... View more
