About IU's educational site license with Esri

Indiana University's educational site license with Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), developers of GIS and geodatabase management applications, provides desktop and server software and extensions, data- and web-based training, and an ArcGIS Online academic organization for IU. Many of the products are available for teaching, research, and administrative uses; others are available only for teaching, research, and student learning purposes. None of the products can be used for any profit-making or commercial purpose.

IU's educational site license with Esri stipulates the following rules:

• Staff can install and use Esri software from UITS only on IU-owned computers (not on personally owned computers).
• Students can install and use ArcGIS Desktop (available from IUware) on their personally owned computers.
• Faculty can install and use Esri software on both IU-owned and personally owned computers.
• Staff or faculty who are no longer associated with IU must immediately discontinue use of any Esri software from UITS.
• All technical support requests to Esri must originate from designated Esri technical support contacts. Esri software users at IU cannot start a technical support incident with Esri directly.
