ArcGIS AllSource must be licensed before first use. It uses either a Single Use license or a Named User license assigned from ArcGIS Enterprise. A Single Use license authorizes one user to use ArcGIS AllSource. That user can use the software on one computer at a time. A Named User license authorizes one user to use ArcGIS AllSource on up to three computers. The following sections and topics discuss how to set up these licenses.

Once you receive your ArcGIS AllSource license file (.eslf) and license password, begin the authorization process by configuring the license in ArcGIS AllSource.

The per-user option does not include the ArcGIS Licensing Service, which is needed to authorize a Single Use license. To install the Licensing Service, run ArcGISLS.msi in the C:\Users\<user profile>\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\AllSource\Resources\ArcGIS Licensing Service folder.
