Detail Installation process of ArcGIS 10.3 and license manager (Very easy)

Hey Guys, What’s up. Being an engineer, I like to be updated with the software I am use. In the geospatial community, the commonly used software is ESRI’s ArcGIS. At the time of this post, ESRI is on its way to launch its ArcGIS 10.4. But, here I am posting the steps to install ArcGIS10.3 which is quite easy if you have previously installed the version 10.2.

The basic steps involved in the installation of the ArcGIS 10.3 desktop and its license manager are instructed as follows: (we assume that you already have the crack and back-up for installation). Hey, don’t worry you can download  the ArcGIS10.3 at https://kat.cr/arcgis-10-3-t10677453.html#main

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

Ø   Before you begin Installing ArcGIS 10.3, 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.

Ø    When you download, you have a file Arcgis10.3 with .3 type extension. That’s however has lost its extension. So rename this file as ArcGIS10.3.rar and then use Winrar to extract it. After extracting you get three folders namely ArcGIS 10.3 : ArcGIS 10.3 Crack, ArcGIS 10.3 Installer, LicenseManager.

Ø       Run Setup.exe found inside ArcGIS 10.3 Installer. 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.

Ø     Then install License Manager. Double click Setup.exe found in  LicenseManager (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.

Ø     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.

Ø Ok if alright. Go to  ArcGIS 10.3\ArcGIS 10.3 Crack\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\License10.3\bin (backup folder). Find the service.txt file there. Edit this service.txt file 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 DESKTOP-1DDLOF8 ANY 27001
            VENDOR ARCGIS

Ø Save this file and then copy and this file and paste it in “C:\Program Files(X86)\ArcGIS\License 10.3\bin”.

Ø    Copy ArcGIS.exe file from the same folder ArcGIS 10.3\ArcGIS 10.3 Crack\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\License10.3\bin and paste to C:\Program Files(X86)\ArcGIS\License 10.3\bin

Ø     Copy AfCore.dll file from the same folder  \ArcGIS 10.3\ArcGIS 10.3 Crack\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.3\bin and paste to C:\Program Files(X86)\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.3\bin

Ø      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.

Ø     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).

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

Still if you have any problems regarding the installation of ArcGIS 10.3, please feel free to mail me at dipeshsuwal@gmail.com.  Hope, I will be back with the latest version of GIS s/w. But friends I suggest all to give priority to use open source software Quantum GIS. Thank you for your precious time.
