Yes, we provide Academic licenses with discount for educational and academic institutions going to use XTools Pro for educational or scientific purposes only. For more details, please contact us at sales@xtools.pro.
Yes, you may install XTools Pro on your desktop computer and laptop (for work in the field, for example) and apply one and the same Single license for both installations, but not use simultaneously on both devices. Doing this, please, note that Single license applies only to your exclusive use and so can not be transferred to another person.
No, by the moment we do not have such licensing for XTools Pro.
The volume discount is provided only when you purchase two or more licenses at once. So, you will need to pay full price for your third XTools Pro license.
If you need to change information about XTools Pro license user, address to our support team and the required updates will be made respectively.
You can renew your maintenance while your current maintenance is still valid, or not more than three months after your current maintenance is expired. There is a quantity discount for users renewing their maintenance period for next two or more years simultaneously. For example, you can get discount for maintenance renewal, if you:
- renew maintenance for next two years for one license;
- renew maintenance for two different licenses at a time (one year per each license).
Users with maintenance expired three or more months ago need to reinstate their maintenance, which means to pay the respective reinstatement fee for missed period (including the current year) of maintenance to have access to all newer XTools Pro versions. Note that quantity discounts are not available in case of purchasing reinstatement for expired maintenance.
Maintenance validity period automatically starts right after the license purchase and lasts for one calendar year (or years, if you purchased several years of maintenance at a time).
As a rule, purchasing maintenance renewal and reinstatement is made on a yearly basis. But in some cases, it is possible to purchase maintenance for shorter periods (months or even days). For example, if you have purchased multiple licenses throughout the course of a year, we can provide a single maintenance renewal quote with a common maintenance term for all these licenses. Address to our support team, if you need to get such complex quote.
Only authorized users are enabled to download XTools Pro installation files, get license activation keys, check license and maintenance validity status and buy maintenance.

Yes, we recommend first to uninstall the previous version and then install the newer XTools Pro version. You can uninstall XTools Pro from the Add or Remove Programs menu (or Programs and Features) available from the Control panel.

The message means that you are trying to activate your license the third time. Pay attention, XTools Pro Single license permits software operations on one computer. Besides using on your desktop computer, you may install XTools Pro on your laptop also (for work in the fields, for example) and apply one and the same Single license for both installations, but not use simultaneously on both devices.
From our experience, in most cases there are two common reasons for that:
- XTools Pro version installed on your machine and your XTools Pro license key version do not match. In this case install the required XTools Pro version or consider upgrading your license key.
- You are entering your registration information incorrectly. Enter the key carefully as provided in the email from us, it is recommended to copy/paste it to avoid typos.
Make sure that you have the most recent XTools Pro version installed. Free license keys are generated only for the current version of the product and so they are not compatible with any earlier versions.
This error means that XTools Pro version installed on your computer does not match the version of the license you are trying to apply. Make sure to download and install XTools Pro version that corresponds with the version of your license.
The Multiline license code option is only available and applicable to XTools Pro 10.x and newer versions. Make sure to download and install the most recent XTools Pro version.
1. In the ArcMap Customize tab select Extensions item.
2. Check the box near XTools Pro in the appeared list.
3. To add XTools Pro toolbar to ArcGIS, go to Customize tab and select Toolbars item. In the appeared toolbars list check the box near XTools Pro.
After installation the XTools Pro toolbar will be added to the ArcMap toolbar:
Same as with ArcMap you can always customize appearance of your XTools Pro toolbar by adding/deleting any tool. To do so select Customize Mode... in Customize menu in ArcMap and then select XTools Pro item in Commands tab.
Select the tool you want to add to the XTools Pro toolbar in the right part of the dialog and just drag it to your XTools Pro toolbar.
If XTools Pro toolbar is not added automatically in ArcMap after the installation and activation you can add it manually. For this, in ArcMap go to the Customize menu and select XTools Pro from the list of Toolbars. Another way is to right-click on any ArcMap toolbar area and check the XTools Pro toolbar in the list.
- Select the "Customize" menu in ArcMap
- Select the "Customize Mode" menu item
- Select the "Toolbars" Tab (it is a default one)
- Select the "XTools Pro" toolbar in the list of toolbars
- Click the "Reset" button on the right
- Select the template where toolbar should be restored (Normal.mxt for the default toolbar settings)
- Click OK.
In case the XTools Pro toolbar is customized for a certain document, repeat this procedure with selecting this document instead of Normal.mxt (Step 5). Then your XTools Pro toolbar will be reset.
If you installed XTools Pro and are able to see it in the extensions and toolbars list, then select XTools Pro — XTools Pro toolbar should appear in your ArcMap interface. Another option is to go to Customize... > Toolbars and in the toolbars list check in the XTools Pro (usually it is in the bottom of the list).
Sometimes it may also happen that XTools Pro remains disabled (all the tools are "grayed" out). To activate the extension manually go to Customize > Extensions... In the extensions list check in the box next to XTools Pro. In case all this does not work or anything remains unclear, please, contact us.
Currently this is not supported, XTools Pro tools cannot be called and used outside ArcGIS Pro. You can access XTools Pro geoprocessing tools from the Python window in ArcGIS Pro.
Yes, please click here to see user manual for ArcMap, and click here to see user manual for ArcGIS Pro.
Most probably you just need to activate the extension. To do that manually, in ArcMap go to the menu Customize (or menu Tools in ArcGIS 9.x), and select the Extensions menu item. Then select XTools Pro in the list of the available extensions. This will enable all the tools and menu items.
The XTools Pro geoprocessing functions from the toolbox are all paid features and are unavailable with the free license.
Actually, if your data is in geographic coordinates (i.e. long/lat), XTools Pro "Add XYZ Coordinates" tool will return you longitude and latitude coordinates in degrees. Note, usually this will be decimal degrees, though there is an option for converting degrees to DMS (D M' S.SS") or DDM (D M.MM') format.
And if your data is projected you can anyway output latitude and longitude specifying the appropriate geographic coordinate system (refer to the XTools Pro Help for more details).
XTools Pro "Add XYZ Coordinates" tool outputs coordinates in the projection of your source data. Accuracy also depends on the data, i.e. coordinates are written as they are taken from the features. They are not rounded or modified anyhow. Besides, these new attribute fields with coordinates are created with the "Double" type so that there is enough space for the decimal part.
No. XTools Pro "Calculate Geometry" feature is free and you do not need to pay to use it. The problem can be related to the data. The matter is that you can calculate acreage only for projected data. If your data is in geographic coordinates (degrees), acreage option is disabled. Nevertheless, if you do not want to project your data but anyway need to calculate acreage - you can specify output projection, i.e. projection in which your acreage will be calculated. Data itself is not projected in this case, and specified projection is used only for acreage calculation.
The most possible reason of those differences is that in XTools Pro we use more precise factor: 4046,8564224
Actually, there are 4046,8564224 square meters in one acre, as can be seen from: (0.3048 * 0.3048) * 43560
Therefore, the difference will be greater for larger areas.
Yes, you can extract XYZ coordinates from polylines. Coordinates of FROM, TO or Center points of polylines can be extracted. Doing this you can add coordinates of only one point (FROM, TO or Center) at a time. So if you need to have coordinates of all these points added to the attribute table, repeat the operation each time changing the polyline point.
Please inform us about any bug you find at support@xtools.pro and describe the problem as you can, providing as many details as possible. Do not forget to mention your XTools Pro and ArcGIS versions (and service packs, if any).
XTools Pro 24.0 for ArcMap is provided for use with ArcGIS 10.0 - 10.8.2 versions, either Basic, Standard or Advanced level. It is not recommended to use XTools Pro 24.0 with the older ArcGIS versions, consider earlier XTools Pro versions for that.
