Error Message​

When attempting to launch ArcGIS Pro with a Concurrent Use license, the launch fails and returns the following error message:

Error: Licensing configuration settings are locked. Please contact your organization's administrator. In some instances, the error message also returns when attempting to change the license level of the Concurrent Use license in ArcGIS Pro.

Cause​

By default, installing ArcGIS Pro silently sets the LOCK_AUTH_SETTING key in the Registry Editor to True. When this parameter is set to true, the license configuration is disabled, and any changes required are blocked.

Solution or Workaround​

Change the LOCK_AUTH_SETTING key in the Registry Editor​

  1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar or press the Windows key.
  2. In the search bar, type Registry Editor, right-click Registry Editor, and click Run as administrator. If prompted, click Yes in the User Account Control window.
  3. In the Registry Editor window, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ESRI > ArcGISPro > Licensing.
  4. Right-click the LOCK_AUTH_SETTINGS string, select Modify....
  5. In the Edit String dialog box, for Value Data, specify False as the key value.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Start ArcGIS Pro and the ArcGIS Sign In licensing activation will popup. Click "Your ArcGIS organization's URL" and then type "vmionline" into the organization's URL text field and SELECT "Remember this URL" then click Continue and login with your VMI credentials.

False Positive​

On very very rare occasions (less than 1%) you may see the errors below when first signing onto ArcGIS Pro. This only happens usaully on a fresh install with no browsing history and you install ArcGIS Pro as the very first thing to try to open. SmartScreen shows this warning because your ArcGIS Online login page is a tenant‑specific URL that Windows hasn’t seen before on a brand‑new profile. With no reputation history, SmartScreen treats it as “unknown,” which it labels as unsafe even though it’s legitimate. Since *.maps.arcgis.com is the official Esri domain and the site loads normally in your browser, it’s a false positive and safe to continue or sign in using your browser.
