ESRI’s ArcGIS Academic Pack Premium (formerly ArcGIS Site License: hereinafter referred to as Site License) for higher education institutions was contracted for a five-year term from April 2022 to March 2027. This includes desktop products, cloud products, and server products. Starter packs (GIS data) are also available within the scope of site license use. However, affiliated hospitals and schools are not included in the scope of the license.
The University’s contract allows an unlimited number of ArcGIS for Desktop installations on University-owned PCs or the personal computers of faculty, staff, and students. Faculty and staff include university-affiliated researchers. To install, you need to download the installation file and a network connection to your ArcGIS Online account or license server. The distribution or duplication of installation media is not permitted by contract, so please do not redistribute the downloaded installation files.
