[GIS] Data Interoperability Toolset not working ArcGIS for Desktop

arcgis-10.2arcgis-desktopdata-interoperabilityinstallation

The Data Interoperability Tools .tbx appears in my system toolboxes, however when I double click quick export or import, a red X appears. I have gone into the administrator settings and the tool doesn't appear to be installed. How do I install it? I am using ArcGIS 10.2 for desktop trial. After I attempt to evaluate extensions, I receive a message which states all requested features have already been authorized on this machine.

You are supposed to install Data Interoperability extension separately which should come with your media. The trial version is available here. The Data Interoperability is a separate installation from the core desktop media. You can find it within your installation media folder, there should be a folder called "DataInterop".

After that please check in the Customize menu > Extensions - the Data Interoperability. The extension must be enabled in order you to be able to start GP tools from the ArcToolbox which are licensed separately via an extension (same thing as to any other extension such as Spatial Analyst or Network Analyst).

The symptoms that you describe seem to be the same as those discussed in the Esri Knowledge Base Article 38563 entitled Error: AttributeError: 'module' has no attribute when calling Spatial ETL tool which recommends that you:

Copy and paste the following code into the Python script after importing the arcpy module and before using the Spatial ETL tool

class LicenseError(Exception):
    pass

try:
    if arcpy.CheckExtension("DataInteroperability") == "Available":
        arcpy.CheckOutExtension("DataInteroperability")
        print "Checked out \"DataInteroperability\" Extension"
    else:
        raise LicenseError
except LicenseError:
    print "Data Interoperability license is unavailable"
except:
    print arcpy.GetMessages(2)

Trial licenses can not be deauthorized. Deauthorize your Basic license from your organisation. Go to "C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet" and delete the documents inside the Flexnet folder. This will clear the information recorded by your arcgis administrator. Authorize the basic license from your organisation and you're ready to go.
