Free student license

...

  • You

    Students can get a free license for ArcGIS Pro to install on a personal computer.

  • (ArcGIS Desktop is being phased out in favor of ArcGIS Pro. You can still use Desktop by logging into a lab computer.)

Using ArcGIS Pro in the arch computer labs

  • ArcGIS Pro in the labs requires a special SU ArcGIS Online account to use.
  • To obtain this account, email John Olson of the SU Library at jaolson@syr.edu and request "an SU ArcGIS Online account" in order to use ArcGIS Pro in the computer labs or use online ArcGIS resources.
  • The account has a username in the format "YourNetID_SyrUniv". Once you have this account you will be able to use Pro in the labs.
  • This same account is also required to utilize online resource links within ArcGIS Pro, whether in the labs or on your own personal computer.

Using online resource links within ArcGIS Pro

  • This requires the same SU ArcGIS Online account discussed in the previous section on using ArcGIS Pro in the arch computer labs. 
  • To obtain this account, email John Olson of the SU Library at jaolson@syr.edu and request "an SU ArcGIS Online account" in order to use online ArcGIS resources.
  • The account will grant access to ArcGIS StoryMaps and the Esri E-Training site.

Troubleshooting the free license installation

...

  • The student license remains in effect until you graduate–no need to renew it each year like in the past.

  • You can use the license on up to three personal computers.

  • Use your NetID credentials to sign in to ArcGIS Pro once it's installed. You can also sign in to ArcGIS Online.

  • When installing ArcGIS Pro on your computer, it may complain that Microsoft .NET 6 x64 is missing. Here is a direct link to the .NET installation file. After you install .NET, try to install ArcGIS Pro again.

Tips

  • If you need to open .e00 files, ArcGIS Pro cannot open them directly. Here is one method to convert them:

    • Use Autodesk 3d Map, which is also installed on the lab computers. You can also install the software on your personal computer by obtaining it from the Autodesk Education site.
