ArcGIS Pro licensing
After you install ArcGIS Pro on a machine, you must enable it for use by applying a valid license. The license is associated with a member's user type in an ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise organization. The following user types have an ArcGIS Pro license:
Creator—This user type includes a Basic license.
Professional—This user type includes a Standard license.
Professional Plus—This user type includes an Advanced license and several extension products.
Each license level enables additional functionality in ArcGIS Pro.

License types
Named User licenses are the default license type. With a Named User license, an ArcGIS organization member signs in to ArcGIS Pro with their organization credentials.
A Single Use license authorizes one person to use ArcGIS Pro. That person can use the software on one computer at a time, while having it installed on a maximum of two computers. This license type does not require an ArcGIS organization login.
License duration
Named User licenses in ArcGIS Online are subscription based. They are renewed annually along with your ArcGIS Online organization. It is necessary to stay current with an Esri Maintenance Program to receive product updates and technical support, and to keep your ArcGIS Online organization active.
Named User licenses in ArcGIS Enterprise can be either subscription based or perpetual. A perpetual license allows you to use the application indefinitely.
Single Use licenses can also be either subscription based or perpetual.
Extension product licenses
Extension products integrate with the core ArcGIS Pro application to provide specialized functionality. Extensions are typically purchased and licensed separately from the core application; however, several extensions are included with the Professional Plus user type. Extensions don't have license levels—they work with any ArcGIS Pro license. An extension must have the same license type (for example, Named User) as the core application.
