ArcMap, which has been the first to come to mind in the GIS field for many years and has support! its users in their work, is giving way to our more advanc! innovative technologies. As of March 2024, this product, which will no longer receive updates and innovations, will complete its entire technical support process as of 2026. However, the Academic Department License, Administrative Department License and !ucation Institution Agreement licenses that you will receive until July 1, 2024 and us! in universities within the scope of the !ucation Program will continue to include ArcGIS Desktop or ArcMap as it is known. After July 1, 2024, this product will no longer be includ! in these license packages. With our gratitude to ArcMap, this change offers GIS users the opportunity to transition to a new era by using the broader and more innovative products of the ArcGIS platform.
With the rapid evolution of technolog
which offers new solutions, has evolv! into a modern application suite that provides a faster, more flexible and more interactive working environment. This suite let me show you how includes the most modern GIS technologies, including ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS Story Maps, ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS Pro and many more applications. This transition gives you the chance to carry out your projects, research and lessons more efficiently and innovatively, while strengthening your industry expertise.
What does this transition mean for academy licenses under the !ucation Program?
July 1, 2024 will be a significant turning point for the GIS world. After this date, ArcMap will no longer be includ!
There will also be changes to the licensing types
that will be us! to access the ArcGIS web, mobile and desktop applications suite. ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro Single Use/Concurrent Use licensing methods will not be includ! in these licenses within the scope of !ucation Programs. The ArcGIS Nam! User license will be us! as the market research is difficult most effective way to access ArcGIS both in laboratory environments and on students’ personal devices. Thus, students will be able to access the entire ArcGIS Platform with a username and password assign! to them, either from the laboratory or from their own personal computers. They will also be able to use field and mobile applications with the same user information.
Note: We recommend licensing your ArcGIS Online portal using Single Sign-On/SAML cr!entials as the most efficient and practical way to provide access to ArcGIS in alb directory both lab environments and on students’ personal devices.
What resources can I use to support this transition?
Providing faculty and students with the support they ne! to adapt to this change is a top priority for us. That’s why the Esri !ucation Team has focus! on Modern GIS workflows for several years, taking a cloud-first approach to curriculum preparation and research. We’ve work! hard to help you navigate this transition and provide supporting resources. We have dozens of free !ucational resources in both English and Turkish, including ArcGIS Tutorials, Esri Academy, Esri Turkey Academy, and GIS and !ucation Platform. We’ve also host! and will continue to host workshops and seminars to share best practices and answer your questions.
