ESRI software includes the ArcGIS/ArcInfo package, and ArcView (a subset of the ArcGIS package). ArcGIS is used not only for viewing maps but for transforming, analyzing, manipulating and modeling geographic data. Sometime ArcView is sufficient for a user's needs but it cannot clean digitized data or use topology, very important functions of ArcGIS.

Eligibility:
ESRI licenses (via our site license) are available to faculty and staff at CU-Boulder, on university-owned computers.

Platforms:
ArcGIS is available for Windows and UNIX computers, but not Macintosh. ArcView is for Windows only.

2008-2009 fee schedule:
The fee for an ArcGIS license (expiring Aug.2009) is $95, whether upgrading to ArcGIS 9.3 or simply renewing your existing version.

A license for ArcView is $90, and does not expire.

How to get it:
Send the following information to sitelic@colorado.edu:

  • SpeedType (8-digit departmental account code) to which license fee can be charged; or, personal check (incl. sales tax)
  • The model, OS version, and hostname of the computer
  • If you require a hardware key, whether it should be for USB or Parallel port

What is included:
The ArcGIS package includes ArcInfo, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcView, ArcIMS, ArcSDE and extensions.

Also:
With an ArcGIS license, campus users can use the "ESRI Virtual Campus," free online courses in a variety of topics (see list). Send your request for a course access code to sitelic@colorado.edu.

GIS users at CU share their expertise and questions via the Geospatial Email Forum.

Support:

  • Send tech support questions to sitelic@colorado.edu, and include the OS version, ESRI product version, details of the problem, commands used, error messages, etc.
