Should I upgrade to ArcGIS 10.4.1, or wait for 10.5?

EricHeinrichs

After a very busy summer season, we finally have some downtime to deal with some server and other back-end issues.

We have ArcGIS 10.3.1 installed right now, and we are looking at updating to the latest release of Server and Portal.

Should we go ahead and upgrade to 10.4.1, or should we wait until next month, when 10.5 is slated for release.

I have never done an update before, and I wasn't around to set up our original install, so I am not sure how much work it will be.

Hi Eric,

I would wait until ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 (the new name for the ArcGIS for Server product) is released next month. You will get all the latest enhancements and it is an in-place upgrade.

Hope this helps,

Derek... want to wander over here and fill in some gaps https://community.esri.com/thread/187532-arcmap-105-python-version

I want to know whether it is even worth installing 10.5. Especially if PRO 1.4 is going to have all the functionality of ArcMap (distinct rumour) but at least a version of python and its kin that are more relevant and recent
