ArcIMS Authorization Configuration

ArcIMS Spatial Server requires an authorization file for use. Each machine installing these features will require 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.

To reconfigure 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 > Programs > ArcGIS > ArcIMS > ArcIMS Post Installation.

To successfully configure your machine using your authorization file, perform the following:

Choose your Authorization option

You can configure your machine using three methods:

1. I have installed my software and need to authorize it.

   Select this option if you do not have an authorization file already. There are several methods to provide your authorization information.

   

   Select the authorization method you would like to use. This is the method with which you will provide your authorization information. After providing your authorization information, your authorization file will be e-mailed to you.

   Note:

   Registering now using the Internet enables you to receive the authorization file immediately. It requires an Internet connection.

2. I have already registered the software and need to register additional options or extensions.

   Select this option if you have already registered ArcIMS for use but would like to register additional options or extensions (if available). There are several methods to provide your registration information.

   

   Select the authorization method you would like to use. This is the method with which you will provide your authorization information. After providing your authorization information, your authorization file will be e-mailed to you.

   Note:

   Registering now using the Internet enables you to receive the authorization file immediately. It requires an Internet connection.

3. I have received an authorization file from ESRI and am now ready to finish the authorization process.

   Select this option if you have already received your authorization file from ESRI Customer Service. If you select this option, you can either browse to the location of the file (if you received the file by e-mail) or manually enter the authorization information.

If you choose the option to browse to an authorization file on disk, you are required to choose or enter the location of your authorization file that you received from Customer Service.
