Hardware requirements

The minimum, recommended, and optimal requirements to run ArcGIS Pro are listed below. Minimum requirements will support the application, but may not perform well. Recommended requirements perform well in most situations. Best performance is gained using the Optimal requirements.

Item Supported and recommended

CPU

Minimum: 2 cores, simultaneous multithreading

Simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading, of CPUs typically features two threads per core. A multithreaded 2-core CPU will have four threads available for processing, while a multithreaded 6-core CPU will have 12 threads available for processing.

Full Motion Video has higher minimum and recommended CPU specifications. See Introduction to Full Motion Video for details.

Recommended: 4 cores

Optimal: 10 cores

Platform

x64

Storage

Minimum: 32 GB of free space

Recommended: 32 GB or more of free space on a solid-state drive (SSD)

Memory/RAM

Minimum: 8 GB

Recommended: 32 GB

Optimal: 64 GB or more

Dedicated (not shared) graphics memory

Recommended: 4 GB or more

If you’re using a notebook computer with an integrated GPU, consider increasing the system RAM to compensate for the use of shared memory.

Visualization cache

The temporary visualization cache can consume up to 32 GB of space, if available, in the user-selected location. By default, the visualization cache is written to the user profile’s \Local subfolder, so it does not roam with the user profile if roaming profiles are enabled by your system administrator.

DirectX*

Minimum: DirectX 11, feature level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0

OpenGL*

Minimum: OpenGL 4.3 with the ARB_clip_control and EXT_texture_compression_s3tc extensions

Recommended: OpenGL 4. 5 with the ARB_shader_draw_parameters, EXT_swap_control, EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, and EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic extensions

Screen resolution

Minimum: 1024×768

Recommended: 1080p or higher

* If DirectX requirements are not met, OpenGL is automatically used. You can also manually change to OpenGL, such as when you suspect an issue with your DirectX driver.

  • Be sure to use the latest available driver.

  • A processor supporting the AVX instruction set is required for some geoprocessing tools.

  • When using a GPU, be sure it is currently supported by the manufacturer.

  • Cloud storage services, such as Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive, are not supported unless stated otherwise in the documentation about specific tools and functionality. Learn more about ArcGIS Pro and cloud storage services.

General-purpose computing on a GPU

Support for general-purpose computing on a GPU (GPGPU) using CUDA is not required to run the software but is required to run most deep learning functionality. GPGPU can also accelerate some Spatial Analyst tools.

Item Supported and recommended

GPU type

NVIDIA GPU with CUDA compute capability 3.7 minimum; 6.1 or later recommended. See the list of CUDA-enabled cards to determine compute capability of a GPU, or check the CUDA Compute section of the system requirements checker.

GPU driver

NVIDIA GPU drivers: version 456. 38 or later is required.

Dedicated graphics memory

Minimum: 6 GB

Recommended: 16 GB or more

Memory requirements depend on the model architecture and batch size being used.

An out-of-date GPU driver will cause deep learning tools to fail with runtime errors indicating that CUDA is not installed or an unsupported toolchain is present. Verify that you have up-to-date GPU drivers directly provided by NVIDIA.

Software requirements

The following software must be installed before installing ArcGIS Pro:

Software Minimum requirement

Microsoft . NET

Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.5 or a later patch release (6.0.6 and so on), using a Windows x64 installer, is required. The presence of Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 7 or later is inconsequential.

Licensing

Three license types are available for ArcGIS Pro 3.1. Depending on the type you use, you may need additional software or access to ArcGIS Online.

SDK requirements

The minimum requirements to create add-ins using ArcGIS Pro SDK are described in the SDK GitHub repository.

Virtualization

ArcGIS Pro is supported in various on-premises and cloud environments, as shown in the tables below.

In all environments, a GPU that is compatible with your virtualization platform is recommended for the best user experience.

The Virtualization section of the help provides additional information about setting up virtualization environments for ArcGIS Pro.

On-premises virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) Notes

Citrix XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 1912 LTSR

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2203 LTSR

Use the latest Citrix and NVIDIA drivers. Refer to the Citrix and NVIDIA websites for the most current versions.

Esri supports using Citrix Virtual Desktops. Citrix Virtual Apps is not recommended or supported with ArcGIS Pro.

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2

Microsoft VDI certified with RemoteFX vGPU Windows Device Driver Model (WDDM) 1.2.

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019

Use Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) to pass through the GPU.

VMware vSphere 6.7

VMware vSphere 7.0

Use VMware Horizon View 7.x and later only.

Cloud infrastructure Notes

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

G4dn instance types

Amazon WorkSpaces

Graphics Bundle

Azure N-Series VMs

NVv4-series

  • NV4: Good for 2D use. Capable to deliver a solid 2D experience with ArcGIS Pro.
  • NV8: Good for 2D use as well as light 3D use. Same as NV4 but able to render and move 3D rendering a bit more smoothly.
  • NV16: Solid platform for medium to heavy 3D use. This is a system that many power users may benefit from who work with 3D, as well as those who have large datasets and analysis needs.
  • NV32: This is a good platform for heavy 3D and larger datasets with heavy analysis needs.

NCasT4_v3-series

  • NCasT4_v3-series virtual machines are powered by NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPUs and AMD EPYC 7V12 (Rome) CPUs. The VMs feature up to 4 NVIDIA T4 GPUs with 16 GB of memory. Ideal for 3D users.

NVadsA10_v5-series

  • NVadsA10v5-series virtual machines are powered by NVIDIA A10 GPUs and AMD EPYC 74F3V(Milan) CPU. NVadsA10v5-series offers virtual machines with partial NVIDIA GPUs.

When using ArcGIS Spatial Analyst tools or machine learning capabilities that use GPU, more than one GPU may be helpful to support visualization and computation. Consider this option if running Spatial Analyst tools or machine learning capabilities and the display becomes erratic. See the current lists of Spatial Analyst tools and machine learning capabilities that use the GPU for computation.

Cloud application streaming and virtualization Notes

A computer capable of running a desktop thread was not found

Problems

Failed to start desktop thread with error code ‘NoCandidateMachine’ or error details ‘No machine found capable of running desktop thread’.

Cause

If there are no computers available, Power Automate creates a queue that contains desktop threads waiting to run. Once the computer is available, the next desktop launch will be selected based on the priority and timing of the request. If the computer is unavailable after three hours from the time of the request, the desktop will time out and fail with a NoCandidateMachine error.

As mentioned in the error message, this error indicates that the orchestrator could not find an available computer to run the desktop. This error occurs before the desktop execution starts. This occurs when the desktop thread has been queued for more than the timeout limit (3 hours), which can happen for several reasons.

Solution

This error code usually comes with a nested error code. Below are solutions for the most common options:

  • SessionExistsForTheUserWhenUnattended — This means that you are trying to start an automatic desktop thread on the target computer where the user used in the desktop thread connection is logging on. The session must be completed (a locked session will result in this error). Make sure you are not signed in with the same user on the computer.

  • NoUnlockedActiveSessionForAttended — The most common way to get this error is when you try to start a desktop thread with participation on the target computer that is locked or the user is not signed in. This error can also occur if the Windows user you are logged in with on the target computer does not match the user entered in the connection. The respective desktop threads can only run if the computer is unlocked in a session where the current user matches the desktop connection thread. Check the credentials used in the connection and make sure they are used in the unlock session.

  • UIFlowAlreadyRunning — This occurs when the auto desktop thread starts. This error occurs when the computer has reached its active session limit or when it tries to open a session for a user who is already logged on.

If no nested error code is specified, several checks will be required.

  • The computer or all computers in the computer group are offline. Start your computer and verify that Power Automate Desktop is properly installed and can communicate with the Internet.

  • Computer group is empty. Make sure the computer group contains at least one computer before assigning it to run a desktop thread.

  • The computer or all computers in the computer group are constantly busy. Computers picked up the desktop thread at the wrong time. This is most likely because the dedicated computer resources do not scale well enough to meet the needs of the workflow. Adding more computers will help spread the workload.

  • Unable to communicate with the computer due to network problems (including proxy or firewall). Contact your IT administrator to ensure that computers are properly accessible.

  • The problem is temporary. Changing the retry policy in the action settings might help.

  • The computer or all computers in the computer group cannot connect to the desktop stream. Verify that you are not trying to start an automatic flow in a group that has all computers in it, or that you are not trying to start a flow that is in a group where all computers are checked out.

  • The computer is no longer available for use. Add a new computer, and then update Desktop Flow connections in Cloud Streams to use the new computer.

If you have a backup of desktop threads in the run queue for one of the above reasons, you can bulk cancel the execution of the desktop thread by canceling the execution of the parent cloud thread using the action Cancel the execution of the parent thread thread on the Start worker thread page table. Once the problem with your computer is fixed, you can restart these cloud streams.
