Love it when your ArcGIS license dies while you have an urgent deadline. Doesn't recognize my checked-out offline license, and I can't sign in because the "account has been configured to use in offline mode on some other device." Which is this device! Where I've been using it for the past 2 weeks 🤯🤬
