Free student license

• You 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

• If the 'Authorizing Software' step gives the error 'Unable to prepare your authorization', check the Windows services list (services.msc) and make sure the ArcGIS licensing service is set to auto start instead of manual.
