Installation
The system requirements depend on your ArcGIS Pro version.
How do I get ArcGIS Pro?
There are several ways to get ArcGIS Pro:
- If you have ArcGIS Desktop, and your maintenance program is current, you can download ArcGIS Pro from My Esri or ArcGIS Online.
- You can buy a GIS Professional User Type. This includes ArcGIS Pro, an ArcGIS Onlinesubscription, and additional apps.
- You may qualify to buy ArcGIS for Personal Use or ArcGIS for Student Use, both of which include ArcGIS Pro.
- You can get an ArcGIS Pro free trial.
Is it necessary to install ArcGIS Pro on a computer where ArcGIS Desktop is installed?
No. You can install ArcGIS Pro on a computer with or without ArcGIS Desktop (or other Esriproducts). If you install ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop on the same computer, it is not necessary to maintain parity between product versions. For example, you can have the current version of ArcGIS Pro and an older version of ArcGIS Desktop.
Can I install multiple versions of ArcGIS Pro on the same computer?
Yes. It is strongly recommended that you accept the default installation location and not install to a path that includes Unicode characters. If you receive the message Error 1324, The path ???????? contains an invalid character when installing or uninstalling ArcGIS Pro, contact Esri Technical Support.
If a new version is available, an update notification appears when you start ArcGIS Pro. Click the notification to begin the update process.
Do I need to uninstall the current version of ArcGIS Pro before updating to a new version?
No, you do not need to uninstall ArcGIS Pro before updating to a new version. However, if you have ArcGIS Pro language packs installed, it is recommended that you uninstall them before updating the software.
Is ArcGIS Pro supported in virtualized environments?
Yes, you can run ArcGIS Pro in a virtualized environment.
Can I use ArcGIS Pro on more than one computer?
It depends on your license type:
- With a Named User license (the default), you can use ArcGIS Pro on up to three computers at the same time.
- With a Single Use license, you can use ArcGIS Pro on one authorized computer.
- With a Concurrent Use license, you can use ArcGIS Pro on one authorized computer at a time, drawing your license from a pool of shared licenses.
How do I know which type of license I have?
You can view your license information on the ArcGIS Pro Settings page.
As an administrator, can I move ArcGIS Pro licenses from an ArcGIS Online organization to an ArcGIS Enterprise organization?
If ArcGIS Pro is received as an entitlement through an ArcGIS Desktop license, it is delivered by default as a Named User license to ArcGIS Online. You can move this ArcGIS Pro license to ArcGIS Enterprise by contacting Esri Customer Service or your distributor.
What is a licensing portal?
The licensing portal is the portal that validates your Named User license when you start ArcGIS Pro. The licensing portal is displayed on both the Licensing tab and the Portals tab on the ArcGIS Pro Settings page
Does ArcGIS Pro use the same licenses as ArcMap?
No. ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap licenses are authorized separately. If you use Concurrent Use licensing for ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro, you can manage both sets of licenses with the same License Manager.
If you have an ArcGIS Desktop license for an extension product, you also have a license for the same extension in ArcGIS Pro if it is available. See ArcGIS Pro extensions for a list of available extensions. Extension licenses in ArcGIS Pro are managed with the same license type, such as Named User, as your ArcGIS Pro license.
How do I start my first ArcGIS Pro session?
To start ArcGIS Pro with a Named User license, sign in to the application with your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise credentials. To start with a Concurrent Use license, specify a license manager. (Contact your administrator for the license manager name, if necessary.) To start with a Single Use license, complete the authorization process. (Contact your administrator for an authorization number, if necessary.)
How do I return a license that I have taken offline?
On the ArcGIS Pro start page, click Settings and click the Licensing tab to return an offline Named User license or to return an offline Concurrent Use license.
On the ArcGIS Pro start page, click Settings and click the Licensing tab to view your license information.
Functionality
What is an ArcGIS Pro project?
An ArcGIS Pro project is a single file, with the extension .aprx, that contains a related collection of maps, scenes, layouts, reports, and other items. The project file is associated with a toolbox and geodatabase that are typically specific to the project and stored in a system folder with the project file.
No. For tasks such as file management that don't require creating and saving a project, you can start without a project template. Any items you create during your session will be deleted when you close ArcGIS Pro. You have the option to save your work as a project at any time during the session.
Yes. You can change default settings by selecting the project and application options that suit your needs.
You can share maps, scenes, and layers from ArcGIS Pro to your active ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise portal. You can share a complete project as a project package that can be downloaded and opened by other users. However, you cannot save a project directly to a portal.
On the ArcGIS Pro start page, click Settings and click the Portals tab to manage your portal connections.
On the ArcGIS Pro Settings page, open the General options and expand the Create projects options.
To open the help system, you can click the Help button 
on the ArcGIS Pro page or the View Help button 
that is always present at the top of the application window. You can also use Command Search to open help topics related to specific keywords.
In an open project, you can find tools and commands—including geoprocessing tools—by searching in the Command Search box at the top of the application window. From the list of search results, you can directly execute commands or open tools for further configuration.
Yes. ArcGIS Pro has both an online help system (the default) and an offline help system. To use the offline help system, download and install it if you have not done so. On the ArcGIS Pro Settings page, open the General options. Under Help source, choose Offline help from your computer.
Yes. You can customize the ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar to adapt the user interface to your needs. You can also choose between light and dark application themes.
Can I make folder and database connections permanently available so I don't need to re-create them in new projects?
Yes, you can add frequently used folder and database connections to your project favorites. Alternatively, you can add them to a project template and create projects from the template.
You may have accidentally closed the map. Closed maps and scenes can be opened from the Catalog pane:
- Make the Catalog pane active. At the top of the pane, click the Project tab, if necessary.
- Expand the Maps collection to see maps and scenes contained in the project.
- Right-click a map and click Open, or right-click a scene and click Open Global View or Open Local View.
The Add Data button 
is available on the Map tab on the ribbon as long as a map or scene is open in the project. You may need to add a map or scene to your project or open a closed map or scene.
Personal geodatabases can only be viewed in ArcGIS Pro. Personal geodatabase datasets can't be used as inputs to geoprocessing tools. Similarly, output datasets can't be stored in personal geodatabases. ArcGIS Pro supports the following types of geodatabases: file geodatabases, mobile geodatabases, and enterprise geodatabases.
Yes. You can publish services, including map services, geocode services, geoprocessing services, and image services, to a stand-alone ArcGIS Server. Your ArcGIS Pro project must contain a publisher or administrator connection to a stand-alone ArcGIS Server 10.6 or later.
No. You can navigate, author, edit, and share 3D maps, called scenes in ArcGIS Pro, without the 3D Analyst extension. However, the extension is required to perform 3D analysis and to run geoprocessing tools in the 3D Analyst toolbox.
Yes. Bing Maps can be used in all ArcGIS products.
Yes. On the ArcGIS Pro Settings page, click Options and open the Map and Scene options. Under Basemap, you can specify that new maps use the default basemap of your ArcGIS organization, a custom basemap, or no basemap.
I moved some datasets on my computer and now the map layers in my project are broken. What should I do?
There are several ways to update the data sources for the map layers in your project.
Yes. ArcGIS Pro automatically backs up your work by default and allows you to recover your project.
For ArcMap users
ArcGIS Desktop is a suite of five applications: ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene, ArcGlobe, and ArcGIS Pro. The first four are designed to work together, while ArcGIS Pro is designed to work independently and is approximately equivalent in functionality to the other four combined. ArcGIS Desktop also includes a subscription to ArcGIS Online.
ArcGIS Pro is the only one of these applications that can be purchased separately from ArcGIS Desktop.
No. ArcGIS Pro has a new .NET API with functionality and workflows that are different from ArcMap. The new API was built using ArcObjects; however, ArcObjects is not exposed directly.
Yes, in most cases. ArcGIS Pro uses Python 3.x; other ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Serverapplications use Python 2.x. In spite of differences between these two Python versions, many geoprocessing scripts can be used without modification in either ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro. In some cases, it is necessary to migrate Python scripts to ArcGIS Pro. Use the Analyze Tools For Pro geoprocessing tool to analyze a script or toolbox for necessary changes.
Most of the geoprocessing tools in ArcMap are available in ArcGIS Pro. Some tools that are not available may be available in a future release. Tools that work with data formats that are not supported in ArcGIS Pro, such as coverages, will not be available in the future. Each release of ArcGIS Pro includes new geoprocessing tools that are not available in ArcMap.
Yes, in most cases. However, if a model uses a tool that is not available in ArcGIS Pro, the model will not work. You may be able to remove the tool and use an alternate workflow. A model built in ArcMap may include a tool that has slightly different functionality in ArcGIS Pro. For example, in ArcGIS Pro, the Calculate Field tool does not support Visual Basic (VB) expressions. Refer to a tool's help topic to determine what changes may be required for the tool to run successfully in an ArcGIS Pro model.
Can I run models built in ArcGIS Pro in ArcMap?
No. Models that are built, or opened and saved, in ArcGIS Pro cannot be used directly in ArcMap. However, it is possible to save a toolbox from ArcGIS Pro to a 10.x version of ArcMap. A model stored in that toolbox can then be run in ArcMap.
Can I use maps authored in ArcMap in ArcGIS Pro?
Yes. You can import map documents (.mxd) and map packages (.mpk) into ArcGIS Pro. You can also import scene (.sxd) and globe (.3DD) documents. The same file geodatabase and shapefile datasets can be used by both applications.
Yes. You cannot export a map from ArcGIS Pro as a map document (.mxd). However, after you share an ArcGIS Pro map as a web map, you can open it in ArcMap:
- In a new ArcMap document, click the File menu and click ArcGIS Online.
- In the ArcGIS Online window, sign in with your ArcGIS account credentials.
- Search ArcGIS Online or browse a category such as My Maps and Data.
- Click a web map to select it and click Open.
Can I run ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro on the same computer?
When you import a map document (.mxd), each data frame becomes a separate map in your ArcGIS Pro project; however, only one of the maps opens. You can open the other maps from the Catalog pane.
Can I use ArcMap styles in ArcGIS Pro?
Many ArcMap styles have been retired and are not included as system styles in ArcGIS Pro. However, you can import ArcGIS Desktop styles into ArcGIS Pro. A number of styles have been converted to the ArcGIS Pro *.stylx format and can be downloaded from ArcGIS Online at Esri Styles. Many new creative styles are also available.
By default, ArcGIS Pro automatically starts an edit session when you modify existing data or create data. Optionally, you can configure the application to enable and disable editingexplicitly, as in ArcMap.
Geometric networks are a read-only dataset in ArcGIS Pro. In ArcGIS Pro, trace networksare used to manage, model, and analyze simple networks such as hydrology networks. Utility networks are used to manage, model, and analyze complex networks such as water, gas, electric, telecom, sewer, and storm water networks.
Additional resources
Yes. The ArcGIS Pro start page offers links to many learning resources, including help system tutorials, guided lessons on the Learn ArcGIS website, and training courses offered by Esri Academy. You can see what's new in the current software release, and read the latest ArcGIS Pro articles by Esri product engineers.
You can connect with other users and ask questions in the ArcGIS Pro space in Esri Community.
