At IU, how do I purchase software from ERDAS?
ERDAS Desktop is a suite of software modules designed by ERDAS to support remote sensing and photogrammetry. The suite includes IMAGINE Professional, LPS, and example data.
Students
At Indiana University, students can purchase a student edition of
ERDAS Desktop directly from Intergraph for $150 per year. To do so,
students should contact Diane Geheber by email
( diane.geheber@erdas.com ) or phone
(225-343-3905).
Faculty, staff, and departments
At IU, UITS manages the ERDAS site license for all campuses. One ERDAS Desktop license is available at an annual cost of $220. Licenses extend from February 1 to January 31 of the following year; UITS prorates the purchase cost. For example, if you purchase the software in August, you will only need to pay for the rest of the year's license (i.e., $110 for six months).
Only a UITS-approved GIS Specialist within a department has privileges to order ERDAS Desktop and charge the purchase to the department's IU account number. UITS does not accept cash or credit card purchases. Users may not use ERDAS Desktop purchased through UITS for profit-making activities.
Valid licenses entitle the user to one year of the following:
- Technical support from UITS
- Free version and patch updates to the licensed software
- Access to all ERDAS Desktop software offered on IUware, including IMAGINE Professional, LPS, software updates, and example data
Placing an order
To order GIS and remote sensing software, visit the GIS License System (requires CAS login).
New users must first register with the system by selecting Add
User.
