ArcMap Access Ending

ArcGIS Desktop will be removed from Education Program licenses on July 1, 2024. This means we will not longer be able to provide licensing for ArcMap starting July 1st. We strongly suggest all users migrate to ArcGIS Pro as soon as possible. See this announcement for more information.

We understand this will be a difficult but necessary transition and are here to help. If you need help transitioning to ArcGIS Pro, please contact us.
