Configure Navigator for ArcGIS licenses

About Navigator for ArcGIS

Navigator for ArcGIS is a mobile app that integrates with other ArcGIS apps and provides a complete navigation experience. To use Navigator, a licensed subscription is needed and must be managed by a portal administrator. All portal members can download and install Navigator from their device’s native marketplace, such as iTunes. However, the app will not function unless the member is signed in and the account has been configured with a license.

Purchase and download a Navigator for ArcGIS license file through My Esri, and import the file into your portal website. You can then provision Navigator licenses to members of your ArcGIS Enterprise portal through the portal website.

Configure Navigator for ArcGIS licenses for your organization

Configure Navigator for ArcGIS licenses using the following steps. The portal you specify to manage licenses below is known as the licensing portal. Navigator for ArcGIS 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 your ArcGIS Enterprise portal as the default administrator in your portal organization.

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

  12. Browse to and select the Navigator license file you generated from My Esri.
