UConn students can install ArcGIS Pro on their personal computer.

Users can download ArcGIS Pro from the ArcGIS Online (AGOL) site.  Instructions can be found here:  https://s.uconn.edu/arcpro.

ArcGIS Desktop has reached End-of-Life status and is being phased out by ESRI.  It is recommended to move all GIS projects to use ArcGIS Pro as soon as possible.

 

There are several things you should know before using this software.

• ArcGIS is a Windows based program.  It will not run in the MacOS, unless you are running some sort of Windows virtualization software (something like VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion or Parallels).  If you do have a Mac, another option is to use ArcGIS on UConn AnyWare.  In general, students have had difficulty completing GIS assignments in UConn AnyWare, so I highly recommend installing the software on your local machine if at all possible.
• Do not contact ESRI for software support.  They will direct you to Rich Mrozinski. So, contact Rich Mrozinski (mrozinski@uconn.edu) if you have problems.

 

Updating your software:
