I admit that I did not look at the introduction... However, it's not my first time I install ArcGIS for Desktop, but my first time I have to install a license manager to get ArcGIS for Desktop running, especially with a prvc file that is fully qualified and works fine with all the other extensions.
The only exception is Interop and the installation of the License Manger doesn't help a bit.
The prvc file is not accepted by the License Manger, which makes a lot of sense since it is a server manager. Going a different way to tell the software that I have a licensed version already and want to license some more features allows me to license by EFL number, which doesn't give any meaning since it is not a concurrent license in the first place. ESU numbers on the other hand are not accepted here.
Using the ArcGIS Administrator to license my installation, using the prvc file tells me that all features are already licensed, that includes the Interop extension. Again, starting ArcMap after registering by the use of my prvc file will not start ArcMap, but provoke an error and the following error dialog.
I am going to uninstall Interop now, it is not usable for me until now.

GIS moved on and nobody needs a format consisting out of at least three files! No, nobody needs shapefiles, not even for the sake of an exchange format. Folks, use GeoPackage to exchange data with other GIS!
