UPDATE: July/2024 - ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) has been discontinued from ESRI's Educational Program licensing as of Jul 1, 2024 and not available at any computer on campus or UNR Remote Desktops as of Jul 15, 2024.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the University's Office of Information Technologies (OIT) department. https://www.unr.edu/oit.
For few years now, ESRI has offered both ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap), ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online, encouraging the GIS community to adopt its newest suite of GIS tools and to move away from ArcMap. Most of classes and researchers have already transitioned to ArcGIS Pro, but for those who have not yet transitioned, now it time to switch. Detailed, step-by-step instructions on accessing Esri’s ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online are available on the UNR Libraries GIS guide.
To help you with the transition, there are several resources available including the ESRI Online Training Academy, particularly the 60-minute training seminar called "Migrating from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro". If you want to access this course you will need to request an ESRI Online account as instructed on the UNR Libraries GIS guide/ArcGIS Pro.
Some good news for all. ESRI Educational products, including ArcGIS Pro are now available to all UNR students, faculty and staff. As part of this transition, we are upgrading how users access ArcGIS Pro – Instead of Individual licenses, users will use SSO (Single sign-on) starting this Fall 2024. OIT is working on this process and will go in effect mid-August.
