University of Delaware students, faculty, and staff can download software licensed for their use from UDeploy.

Esri Bundle (ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online)

The following cost is applicable for the 2025-2026 academic year:
This software is available in Remote Computer Labs, which can be used through your web browser. The software may be used for faculty and student classwork, but may not be used for research. Visit the Remote Computer Labs support site for details on accessing this service
ArcGIS Pro is the most powerful GIS desktop product offered by Esri. ArcGIS Pro might be licensed with user's ArcGIS Online account (named user authentication) or single-use license. Please submit a webform listed above to request a license.
Note: Minor ArcGIS Pro releases and patches are cumulative. When you install a minor release or patch, the functionality of any minor releases or patches you may have skipped is incorporated. In the classrooms UD will use version 3.5.2 for the 2025-2026 academic year. ArcGIS Pro 3.5 must be installed prior to installing any ArcGIS Pro 3.5 patch. Each patch is cumulative of all previous patch fixes. Therefore, if you already have 3.5 installed then only install ArcGIS Pro 3.5 (Patch 2).
ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based GIS solution offered by Esri. It is accessed with an ArcGIS Online account, which is available upon request. Email AskIT@udel.edu to request an ArcGIS Online account.
By downloading ArcGIS Pro you confirm that you have read and will comply with the following:
  • Labs: Labs should pay for each workstation where the software is installed since all machines may be used simultaneously.
  • Individuals: Individuals: An individual who installs the software on an office machine, a home machine, and a laptop only needs one seat. All individual users are licensed with a named-user authentication, which requires a network/Internet connection for ArcGIS Pro to function. License must be renewed annually.
  • Classes: Professors who need ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Online accounts for a course should email a request to askIT@udel.edu. The request must include a completed spreadsheet with the required information, using the provided template.
NOTE: 2023-2024 academic year was the last year Esri provided ArcMap licenses to Academia! ArcGIS Desktop ended the Extended Support phase of the Product Lifecycle March 2024, and there have been no more updates, patches and certifications, hence Esri’s stopping delivery of ArcGIS Desktop and its Extensions. During 2025-2026 AY ArcMap licenses will no longer be available under Educational ELA and in 2026 ArcMap will no longer be available to any GIS customer. The new generation ArcGIS Desktop application is ArcGIS Pro. Please contact AskIT@udel.edu for additional clarification. For Esri data, such as the current Esri Data and Maps, please see our data page. * Licenses run for an academic year expiring on July 31. The cost per license is the same throughout the year, regardless of when purchased.  There is no partial-year credit available. ** for students, only those working on grant-funded projects.
