Detail Installation process of ArcGIS 10.2 and license manager (Very easy)

The basic steps involved in the installation of the ArcGIS 10.2 desktop and its license manager are instructed as follows: (we assume that you already have the crack and back-up for installation).

(Note: Some computers may require their antivirus softwares being disabled during the time of installation but some may not. Risk at your own)

• Before you begin Installing ArcGIS 10.2, you should uninstall any old version of ArcGIS components and license manager from your PC. For easiness you can use RevoUnistaller software to uninstall the license manager for ArcGIS and then you can uninstall ArcGIS. The use of RevoUnistaller s/w is important because you need to clear old registry files, temporary files of license manager and ArcGIS. Otherwise, it may create problems later on in setup procedure of ARCGIS.

• If you have the backup of the ArcGIS software which I am using, you must have 4 folders inside ArcGIS 10.2.2 namely: Extras, Installer- ArcGIS, Installer- License Manager, and Patch.

•   Ok if all good, then you need to extract first of all ArcGIS by double clicking ArcGIS_Desktop_1022_140115.exe   to a folder you like anywhere in your hard disk. Then, wait for the extraction to complete.

• After extraction is completed, you see a folder ArcGIS 10.2.2. Run Setup.exe found inside ArcGIS 10.2.2/Desktop/Setup.exe. (if not automatically started)

• Wait for the installation to complete. After installation is complete, ArcGIS Administration may open, leave it for now. Do not do anything on it just cancel it.

• Then install License Manager. Double click Setup.exe found in ArcGIS 10.2.2/Installer-License Manager (in your back up folder).

• Wait for the installation to complete. Now we head toward cracking the license. Before you do that, first of all make sure the licenses currently are stopped.

• For that, go to start, type License Server Administrator in search and click it to open. In the LSAdmin window under ArcGIS/Start/Stop License Service, click the Stop button to stop the services. Then Under Diagnostics. Click diagnose. You should see License Status: not running.

• Ok if alright. Go to ArcGIS 10.2.2/ Patch folder (backup folder). Inside Procedure 2 Patch/ double click ArcGis_Keygen_Modified.exe.

• Change version to 10.2. Click ALL and it will generate the licenses for all modules.

• Find the services.txt file in your “C:\Program Files(X86)\ArcGIS\License 10.2\bin” and open it. Replace the text here with the text generated from the keygen.

• Also make a slight change like below in services.txt for configuring licenses for your PC. In the file change the name of the server to your computer name.(CHANGE only the red one as shown below to your computer name…. you can copy your computer name from your computer properties, but this name may not work sometime (for that you can use localhost as your server name)

START_LICENSE

SERVER user-VAIO ANY 27000

VENDOR ARCGIS

•  Copy ArcGIS.exe file from the same folder ArcGIS 10.2.2/ Patch and paste to program files(86x)/ArcGIS/license10/bin

• Open the License server Administrator. Go to start/stop license server. Click Start and then go to Diagnostics and click diagnose. It must say testing licenses done

• Then, Open ArcGIS Administration. Click on Desktop choose Advanced(Arcinfo) Concurrent use) and on license manager tab give your computer name or localhost (any one may work).

• Now you are ready to play with ArcGIS. Start Arcmap from Start menu.
