At Indiana University, if you want to install ArcGIS on a laptop or a computer not connected to the IU network, you will need to install the ArcGIS License Manager. This program is included in the ArcGIS Desktop installation files, available for download from IUware. To find out how you can purchase ArcGIS, see ArcGIS availability at IU

Update license with Keyless License Manager

1. If applicable, uninstall any previous version of ArcGIS License Manager; see ARCHIVED: In Windows, how do I uninstall programs? The License Manager for ArcGIS 9.2 and earlier versions will not work with ArcGIS 9.3, as the license component for this application has been updated.
2. Gather information about your machine. UITS will need to know the physical address and hostname of your machine in order to create a keyless ESRI license. To do this, open a command prompt window. Type ipconfig /all, and then press`Enter`.
3. Under Windows IP Configuration, find your hostname. Under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection, find your physical address. If there is more than one Ethernet connection listed, use the information from the first one, but be sure not to use information listed for a Wireless Local Area Connection.
4. Email the GIS Support Specialists group ([email protected]) to request a license file. Include ArcGIS 9.3 license request in the subject line. In the message body, include your computer's hostname and the 12-character physical address of the Ethernet adapter. If you are unsure which physical address to use, copy the entire output and send it with your license file request.
5. UITS will request a license file from the ESRI and email the file to you. Once you receive the license file (.txt or`.elf`), save it to your computer.
6. Open LMSetupKeyless.exe. The ESRI License Manager setup files are included in the ArcGIS Desktop installation folder (the default location is C:\IUware Online\ArcGIS Desktop 9.3\License). If you do not have the ArcGIS setup files, you can download the license manager from ESRI Support.
7. The `Enter`0 window will appear. Choose
8. Browse to the license file, and then select it and click .
9. Click twice, and then click .
10. Click when prompted to restart your computer, and then click . Make sure your computer restarts.
11. To confirm successful installation, open ArcGIS ArcMap. If you see an error message, you may need to update the ArcGIS Desktop Administrator with your machine's hostname; see "ArcGIS on a local license manager with a sentinel key" in Correct the "Cannot find SERVER hostname in network database" error message in ArcGIS at IU

Update license with sentinel key

Note: A sentinel key is a piece of USB hardware. If you do not have one of these issued by UITS, follow the instructions above.

You open your MXD to be greeted with a series of red exclamation points in the Table of Contents instead of your data drawing in the Display Window.

What Happened:

ArcGIS saved the path names from the machine you started your project, and the drive directories referenced by those path names are not the same on the machine you are currently working on. For example, if you were working off an external hard drive at school, and the school computer called it “E:”, then your home computer calls that same drive “F:”, the path name will be wrong.

How to Fix It:

Repair the Data Source

Locates the data when ArcMap cannot find it. You will know it can’t find it when the each layer name is proceeded with a red exclamation point. Repair data source is greyed out the rest of the time.

1. Right click on layer name
2. Click on Data -> Repair Data Source
3. Drive to the proper location of the feature class
4. Single click on its name
5. Click Okay This method should repair all of the data source errors at once. If not, you will have to do it again until it finds all of the sources.

How to Prevent it in the Future:

Cannot [complete the action you are asking ArcMap/ArcCatalog to do] because it is in use by another application/user. Cannot acquire a schema lock because of an existing lock.

Problem:

You are attempting to do some action in ArcMap or ArcCatalog and you have gotten a super “friendly” message that the action cannot be completed due to an existing lock.

What Happened:

ArcGIS works on a constant cache system, meaning if a file is in use in one program (another ArcGIS suite software, Excel, Word...) it cannot be used/changed modified in ArcMap.

How to Fix it:

The only way to release the lock is to close the offending program (the error won’t tell you, but it’s whatever program you’re not currently using) and wait a minute or three for the program to completely close and the lock to be released. Then try your action again. If it still fails, try closing all your programs, the relaunching ArcCatalog/ArcMap and try again. If it still fails, lastly, try opening a new, blank ArcMap session, adding the offending file, and try your action again.

• NOTE: If you’re working with joins/relates, this error may be due to the fact you cannot edit joined data. Remove the join(s) then try your action again.

Geoprocessing Tools “Background Server Threw an Exception”

Problem:

You ran a tool from the ArcToolbox, and it failed. When you check the messages (either by clicking the link in the “failed” pop up, or Geoprocessing Menu > Results > + Current Session > + Tool Name > + Messages), the error code is a super helpful “Background Server Threw an Exception”.

What Happened:

The background server threw an exception! Duh! But for real, some part of the background processing failed when running the tool.

• Background processing is a feature in ArcMap that allows you to continue work on your project while running tools in the background

How to Fix it:

Turn Off Background Processing:

Turn off background processing

1. Geoprocessing Menu
2. Geoprocessing Options
3. Uncheck the box next to “Enable” in the Background Processing Section
4. Click OK to close the dialog box

Run the tool again, in the foreground

1. Open the Results tab
2. Geoprocessing Menu > Results
3. Double-click on the tool name. This will open the box and populate the fields to the last used settings
4. Hit OK to run the tool again.

How to Prevent it in the Future:

The “background exception” error is hit or miss. There really isn’t a “prevention”. Sorry.

Help! I cannot open the MXD I saved in the GIS lab at home!

Problem:

You’ve saved your MXD in the GIS lab, but when you try to open it at home, it gives an error that this file can only be opened with ArcMap 10.x.

What Happened:

ArcGIS is not backwards compatible, meaning, that MXD’s created in an earlier version will open in a later version but MXDs created in a later version will not open in an earlier version. For example, 10.1 MXD files will open in 10.3, but 10.3 MXD files will not open in 10.1.

How to Fix it:

How to Prevent it in the Future:

In all cases where the goal is to open an MXD in an earlier version of ArcMap, you must save a copy before you close out of the later version. That is to say, before you leave the GIS lab where the computers are running 10.3, you must first “Save a Copy” and designate the version you wish to save the MXD as.

• If you are unsure of the version of ArcMap you (or someone else) may be using, it’s okay to save as 10.0, since ArcMap will upgrade files. But to avoid versioning problems in general, try to save the file in the target version.
• From the File menu in ArcMap, use “Save a Copy”
• Designate the version from the dropdown under the MXD name
• Be sure not to open the file on the current machine, or ArcMap will try to upgrade it (it should give you a warning before it does, but just to be safe, don’t open it until you are on the target machine)

Tool Not Licensed. Unable to execute the selected tool.

Problem:

You attempt to run a tool, but when you click to open it, your presented with an error message stating the tool is not licensed and ArcGIS is unable to execute the selected tool.

What Happened:

Each extension in ArcGIS costs money beyond the base price of the software, and many school and companies save money by not purchasing extensions they do not need or only purchasing a limited amount of licenses to be shared on a network of several users. To allow everyone access to all of the licences, extensions must be enabled before tools within that particular toolbox can be launched. Enabling the extension checks it out from a central location and allows the tools associated with it to be utilized. Think about it like a public library. Instead of purchasing tons of copies of one particular best-seller, they purchase a limited number of copies, then lend them out free of charge to their registered users. While the book is checked out, no one else can read it. ArcGIS extensions work the same way - the extension will only work for the same number of computers for which the company or school has paid for until they are checked back in.

How to Fix it:

To fix this error:

1. note the extension which is disabled (in this screenshot, we see “There is no Spatial Analyst licence currently available or enabled”
2. close the “Tool Not Licensed” pop-up
3. enable the required extension
4. relaunch the tool

To enable an extension:

1. open the Customize menu
2. click on “Extensions” to launch the dialog box
3. place a check mark in the box to the left of the extension name
4. close the Extensions dialog box

If the extension is not available (not paid for or all the copies are checked out), instead of a check mark appearing in the box, a different pop-up will appear stating “There is no license name currently available”

How to Prevent it in the Future:

The only real “prevention” is to make sure the extension is enabled prior to trying to run a tool. This, however, is not a real “problem”, it can just be annoying occasionally.

The ArcGIS Basemaps Will Not Load!

Problem:

When you use the dropdown to “Add Basemap”, it is missing OR you’ve successfully selected a basemap but it will not load in ArcMap.

What Happened:

While it’s hard to tell from here, it’s most likely an internet or software problem.

How to Fix it:

The first thing to try is: saving your MXD, launching ArcMap with an new, blank map, closing ArcMap, and opening your MXD again. This most likely won’t work, but it’s worth a try.

The next thing to try is adding the basemaps as an ArcGIS Server.

How to Prevent it in the Future:

There really isn’t anything you can do to prevent it, as it was most likely caused by an internet or software error. The only thing you can do is make sure your connection is good, or use the ArcGIS Server Method.

Microsoft Excel File: Failed to Connect to Database. An underlying database error occurred. Class not registered.

Problem:

You attempt to add a sheet from an .xlsx file (problem does not seem to occur with .xls files), and ArcMap gives an error of “Failed to Connect to Database. An underlying database error occurred. Class not registered”.

What Happened:

ArcGIS sees Excel files as database files (we learned they were data tables - of which database files are a type of data table), and is unable to read it. I don’t really have a very specific reason other than that. Sorry.

How to Fix it:

Install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components

Close ArcMap (saving your .mxd, if needed). Visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734 and download the driver. Install it as you would any other .exe This driver plug in doesn’t require a restart. Restart ArcMap and attempt to add the sheet again. There shouldn’t be an error this time.
