Support

New and existing users can take advantage of technical support and software updates through the Maintenance Program [PDF-61.3 KB]. The program makes it easier to budget for support and software updates by combining both services into a single annual fee.

Student and Educational Individual Licenses

Student and Educational Individual Licenses are available to students, instructors, faculty, and other educators for academic or research use. These licenses are held by an individual person rather than the educational institution, and are available in two types.

Purchases are limited to one copy of any given software product/release per individual.

Campuswide Site Licenses

Campuswide Site Licenses are designed for organizations where GIS is required by multiple departments, college or university campuses, and university systems. Site licenses provide an alternative to establishing multiple LAB KITs in individual departments. A site license can cover a single campus, multiple campuses, a school system, or statewide system. A site license allows an institution to use ESRI software throughout the organization for teaching, research, or administrative purposes for a single annual fee. This fee includes software maintenance and technical support services. All site licenses require a signed contract.

There are different types of Campuswide Site Licenses including ArcView, Limited ArcGIS, and ArcGIS site licenses. Contact your local ESRI Canada office for details.

Third-Party Software

Some ESRI software includes third-party software or data that cannot be made part of the Site License program. Examples of software that contains third-party components include ArcView Business Analyst, ArcGIS Business Analyst, ArcView Tracking Analyst, ArcGIS Tracking Analyst, ArcGIS Data Interoperability, and ArcIMS Data Delivery.

In the case of ArcView Tracking Analyst, ArcGIS Tracking Analyst, ArcGIS Data Interoperability, and ArcIMS Data Delivery, ESRI Canada has been able to negotiate a tiered fee per year (per version) to these extensions for educational site licenses. For specific pricing information, please contact your local ESRI Canada office.

Once a purchase order has been received by ESRI Canada, a customer service representative will request that a contract amendment be added to the site license. A signed contract amendment is required before keycodes can be issued for these third-party products.
