ESRI Software (ArcPro, ArcGIS Online)

All Miami students, faculty, and staff may download and install ArcPro to a personal desktop or laptop windows machine with a 1 year educational use license.

Note:  ArcPro can only install on a Windows Operating System (OS).  If you have a Mac you have several options for installing and running the Windows OS on your Mac.   One of those is to download and install Bootcamp (see next section below for link to instructions)

Follow the steps below to install ArcPro and .NET on your personal computer

1. Verify that you have a computer capable of running ArcPro (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/arcgis-pro-system-requirements.htm)

   • IMPORTANT!  Microsoft .NET 8.0 for later must be installed prior to installing ArcPro.  The link to the correct version is on the ESRI systems requirements page linked above.

2. Go to this url:  http://miamioh.maps.arcgis.com/

3. Click "Sign In" at the top right to log into Miami's ArcGIS Online  Organization (AGOL)

5. Click on My Settings

6. At the left, click on Licenses

11. Follow the instructions on this web page for installing ArcPro on your computer: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/install-and-sign-in-to-arcgis-pro.htm 

12. You should follow the instructions for the “per-machine” installation (this is the default)

13. Take the default location for where the software will install

14. Your access to additional extensions for the software is automatically managed by the Organization.  

15. You will automatically have access to Spatial Analyst, Network Analyst, 3D Analyst, and Geostatistical Analyst.
