Authorize GIS Server

This post installation option must be completed on machines installing Server Object Containers.

 

Each ArcGIS Server Object Container machine requires an authorization file. You can obtain an authorization file using this post installation setup option. If you have already obtained your authorization file, this post installation option will configure your machine using your authorization file.

 

This post installation option configures your machine using the authorization file. A valid authorization file is required to be able to run container processes. To re-configure your machine with an updated authorization file, run through this post installation option again. To launch the post installation setup at a later time, go to Start > Program Files > ArcGIS > ArcGIS Server > GIS Server post installation.
