Summary
Developed for ArcGIS 9.3

Designed for organizations with a limited number of floating licenses and extensions, this tool lists the licensed extensions (3D Analyst, ArcScan, Data Interoperability, Geostatistical Analyst, Maplex, Network Analyst, Publisher, Schematics, Spatial Analyst, Survey Analyst and Tracking Analyst) checked out in a dialog box when any ArcGIS component (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene* or ArcGlobe*) opens. The user can turn off extensions from this dialog that aren't needed in the project. Additionally, the tool will remind users if they are using ArcInfo or ArcEditor to switch to ArcView if the additional capabilities of those versions aren't needed. The dialog will not appear when using a single use license.

The installer writes to the Local Machine registry hive, which may require administrator rights, depending on the security policy of your organization. This tool is set to automatically install for all users on the machine. During the installation, you can set whether the reminder pops up once a day, once per ArcGIS session or every time a new document is opened. To change this after installation, change the Local Machine registry key "SOFTWARE\Biogeography Branch\License Checker\Usage". The valid values are "Daily", "Single", or "Multiple". If this key is missing (or an invalid value is used), it will default to once reminder per session. If the once a day setting is selected, the tool will write today's date to the Current User registry key for that ArcGIS product. For example, the first time ArcMap is started that day, that date will be written to "SOFTWARE\Biogeography Branch\License Checker\ArcMap"

This extension requires the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5, the ArcGIS .NET Support and runs on ArcMap 9.3, Service Pack 1 or higher. Normally, the ArcGIS .NET Support is automatically included in the ArcGIS installation. However, if it is not, see this link on how to reinstall them: http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=knowledgebase.techarticles.articleShow&d=34178

To install this tool in Vista, open a command line prompt as an administrator and use the command

msiexec /i "path-to-package.msi"

If there are no spaces in the path name, the quotes aren't necessary.

* Since ArcScene and ArcGlobe require the 3D Analyst extension, the extension will be exempted from their reminder dialogs.
