Work offline

If you need to work in a disconnected environment, you can authorize Drone2Map to work offline. This allows you to use the application without being signed in to a licensing portal.

Authorize Drone2Map to work offline

When you authorize Drone2Map to work offline, you can only use the application on one machine. This is the machine you use to take your license offline.

If you work in an environment with periodic online access, you can sign in to an active portal to exchange content with ArcGIS Online when access is available. Even when Drone2Map is authorized to work offline, you must sign in to an active portal to get content from ArcGIS Online or share content to ArcGIS Online.

1. On the Drone2Map start page, click About Drone2Map in the lower right corner. Alternatively, if you have a project open, click the Project tab on the ribbon.
2. In the menu on the left side, click Licensing.
3. Under Settings, check the Authorize Drone2Map to work offline box.
4. On the prompt, click Yes if you want to connect to an active ArcGIS Online portal to access or share content. Otherwise, click No.
If you click No, you can connect to an active portal later when an Internet connection is available.

Check in an offline license

When you work in a connected environment again, you can return your license.

1. Start Drone2Map and sign in.
2. On the Drone2Map start page, click About Drone2Map in the lower right corner. Alternatively, if you have a project open, click the Project tab on the ribbon.
3. In the options on the left side, click Licensing.
4. Under Settings, uncheck the Authorize Drone2Map to work offline check box.

   A message box informs you that you must sign in to your licensing portal again.

5. Click OK.
6. Sign in to reconnect to your licensing portal.
