At IU, how do I install ERDAS IMAGINE 2013?
The installation of ERDAS IMAGINE 2013 is a multi-step process. ERDAS Foundation 2013, a component bundle used in all ERDAS products, must be installed prior to installing ERDAS IMAGINE 2013. ERDAS Foundation 2013 includes Intergraph Licensing, which is used across the ERDAS product lines. You must have full administrative privileges in Windows to install a license file or add remote license servers. The Indiana University license agreement with ERDAS provides only floating licenses; node-locked licenses are not supported.
LPS 2013 is included with IMAGINE 2013.
To install ERDAS IMAGINE 2013, perform the following steps in order:
- Uninstall previous versions of ERDAS IMAGINE

Connect to a license service
UITS-managed ERDAS central license service for use on the IU network
UITS recommends that you use the UITS ERDAS license servers if your system is connected to the IU network. If your system has infrequent access to the IU network, you will need to use a local license service; skip to Local license service for laptop or home computer.
- If your computer is located off campus, first connect to the IU
VPN.
- To permit license checkout, the ERDAS license server must have the
hostname of all systems using the service. To provide UITS
with your computer's hostname, email your hostname and your IU
department name to UITS GIS,
with "ERDAS Central License Server hostname update" in the subject
line. Use your IU email address; UITS staff will deny
requests from non-IU email addresses. The license service is case
sensitive, so carefully review your system's hostname before sending
it. For example, if your hostname is
home-pc, the server will deny license checkout to systemHOME-pc.
- To open the Intergraph License Administration application, click
Start, selectAll Programs, and then chooseIntergraph Licensing 11.10.1/Intergraph License Administration.
- In the Intergraph License Administration application, select the
Client/Add Concurrent License Source...menu.
- In the
Add Concurrent License Sourcewindow, in the "Computer Name:" field, typeerdas2.uits.indiana.edu. Next to "Port Number:", type27000. ClickOK.
- To display license availability, highlight the name of the server in the "Table of Contents" on the left. After you have successfully connected to the remote license service, exit Intergraph License Administration and begin installing ERDAS IMAGINE 2013.
Local license service for laptop or home computer
- To open the Intergraph License Administration application, click
Start, selectAll Programs, and then chooseIntergraph Licensing 11.10.1/Intergraph License Administration.
- In the Intergraph License Administration application, select the
Server/License Host IDmenu.
- Copy the Composite ID and email this code and your IU department
name to UITS
GIS, with "ERDAS 2013 license request" in the subject line. Use
your IU email address; UITS staff will deny requests from non-IU email
addresses.
Note: The system ID and license file needed for IMAGINE 11 are different than those used for IMAGINE 2013 licensing. A 2013 license file will not support IMAGINE 11, nor will an IMAGINE 11 license support version 2013.
- Once you receive the license file (which has a
.licextension) by email, save it to your computer and follow the instructions provided by ERDAS.
