If you receive a provisioning license file, save it to your hard drive. It will be attached to the email and will have an extension of *.prvs. Save this file to your hard drive (do not open it). You will use this during the license manager set up (if you are running your own license manager) or during registration and authorization for single-use installations. You will need to install the License Manager ONLY if you need to run a concurrent license on a license server (that other computers will point to) or if you need to run Desktop and Workstation away from the network (and wont be able to point to a remote license manager). Make sure you uninstall any previous versions of ArcGIS on your computer before installing a new version. It is recommended that you use the Uninstall option at the top of the first installation window to do this if you are installing 10.0. Log on to the download server with the directions you were provided, navigate to the ArcGIS 10 folder, and open the ArcGIS_Desktop10 folder. Or load the Desktop CD into your computer disk drive. Double-click on the ESRI.exe icon:

You will see this initial start-up screen for the installation process. You can view install and Readme guides from here. When you are ready to install Desktop, click on the Setup link next to it: NOTE: Any previous ArcGIS installs will need to be removed before installing version 10. Please make sure to do this before proceeding.

If you have installed any extensions and get a licensing error trying to open any of the extension tools in ArcGIS (i.e. spatial analyst, etc.), go through the following steps to activate the extensions: Go to Customize Extensions A window with a list of extensions should display Make sure that the extensions you want to use are checked (this activates them) If not, check the extensions that you want to use Then go to Customize Toolbars to open the toolbar

Now when the extension(s) is chosen, it should work (as long as it is part of our current licensing).
