The ESRI ArcGIS licensing structure has changed to a No Cost model courtesy of the University Libraries for the 2024-2025 renewal year.
This software is used for geographic mapping. There are many different ESRI products available, the most popular being ArcGIS.
Access
For access and information on utilizing ArcGIS please see the University Libraries ARCGIS subject guide.
Online Application
Most ESRI services including ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise are available through the ArcGIS Online Portal which you can log into with your NetID and password.
ArcGIS Pro Local Install (Windows Only)
Once licensed you can locally install ArcGIS Pro via the Software Center on university owned devices or via the ArcGIS Online Portal for personally owned Windows computers.
Additional Options
ESRI is also available on the Virtual Desktops.
Local Account Data Migration
Individuals who requested ESRI prior to the SSO switchover will have a local account in addition to an SSO account. This local account is still accessible by selecting the ArcGIS login dropdown on the login page instead of the UNR NetID button. If you have any data on that local account it is recommended that you migrate the data over to your SSO account as soon as possible. For information on how to migrate your data between accounts as well additional information about the SSO changeover please see the University Libraries GIS (Geographic Information Systems): ArcGIS Migration FAQ's.
