At the University of Freiburg, ESRI products can be used for teaching, training and non-commercial research as part of the campus licence that has been available since 1 January 2011. The current term ends on 31.12.2024. In addition, funding must be reviewed regularly.

The contact person for licensing, acquisition, and usage is to be found at the bottom of the page.

 

ESRI Product Family / ArcGIS

The ESRI product family consists of several software components with which diverse tasks in connection with space related data can be completed.

The most common component is ArcGIS desctop, a desctop program with multiple geoprocessing and analysis as well as the possibility for design and rendering of high quality map products.

ArcGIS desctop is offered in the three degrees Basic (ArcView), Standard (ArcEditor) and Advanced (ArcInfo), with ArcInfo as the most extensive version. The product can be supplemented with multiple extensions for specific analyses.

Software Licensing and Acquisition

The common way for software licensing is the use of a "Floating License"-version, which reverts back to the configurated licesne server. For this the computer needs to be connected to the internet and be operated in Freiburg University's network.

You can access the media required for the installation of the software after logging in with your Uniaccount via the following link: Download list ESRI

 

Students can download the software and the license file after log in with their university account here.

 

Web-based Training Offers

ESRI provides extensive web-based training offers for basic applications of GIS, and specifically for the GIS product ESRI: https://www.esri.com/training

As part of the ESRI-Baden-Württemberg license Freiburg University can provide access for most of its courses free of charge, by sending invitations from ESRI upon request. The basis for the participation is an individual ESRI account, which must be created by the user.

  

Software Financing

The costs are currently being financed solely by the Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources.
