Configure ArcGIS Business Analyst web app licenses

The ArcGIS Business Analyst web app enables commercial real estate agents, retailers, economic development agencies, and others to evaluate markets for expansion, consolidation, or investment.

Purchase and download ArcGIS Business Analyst web app entitlements through My Esri, and import the entitlements in the ArcGIS Portal Directory. You can then provision Business Analyst web app licenses to members of your portal through the portal website.

Configure Business Analyst web app licenses for your organization

Configure Business Analyst web app licenses using the following steps. The portal you specify to manage licenses is known as the licensing portal. The Business Analyst web app connects to this portal to obtain licensing information for members of your organization. If your organization has multiple portals, ensure the portal you specify is the one you want to use to manage licenses.

  1. Log in to My Esri and click My Organizations > Licensing > Create New Provisioning File.
  2. Choose Additional Portal Products from the Product Type list.

    The Version, License Type, Provision, and File Type options populate automatically.

  3. Click Apply.
  4. Choose the number of named users you need in the Allocate column of the products list. Click Next.
  5. Provide the contact and address information for your organization.

    Tip:

    Click Populate user fields from my profile and Populate organization fields from my organization to automatically enter the information associated with your account.

  6. Specify the delivery option for your license file. Optionally add a description or note to your request.
  7. Click Review File and verify the provisioning information.
  8. Click Create File.

    Depending on the delivery option you specified, the file is available for download immediately or attached to an email sent to the address you specified.

  9. Save the file in a directory that is accessible to the portal machine.
  10. Open a web browser and sign in to the ArcGIS Portal Directory as a member of the default administrator role in your portal organization. The URL is formatted as https://portal.domain.com:7443/arcgis/portaladmin, where portal.domain.com is the fully qualified machine name where Portal for ArcGIS is installed.

    The portal you sign in to becomes the licensing portal for your organization.

  12. Browse to and select the Business Analyst entitlements file you generated from My Esri.
  13. Choose Business Analyst from the Application drop-down list.
