Topology not showing up in arc catalog ?

Topology not showing up in arc catalog 10.1 when I right click new within the window. Do I not have the right version of arc or right license ?

Thanks DL.

Did you perform a refresh of the ArcCatalog window?

Is Topology supported with a Basic license? Any error messages?

No chance for an upgrade as 10.1 is sort of ancient at this time?

I believe you should be able to create a topology on a feature dataset (not a single feature class).

Hi Daniel,

Confirming what both Michael Volz and Tamiko Stone posted:

The Create Topology tool is not available with the ArcGIS Desktop Basic license, you need to have Standard or Advanced; Create Topology—Help | ArcGIS Desktop
You can only create a topology from a feature dataset, not from a single feature class

Hope this helps,

Daniel,

That is correct, you can only create a geodatabase if and only if you have Standard and Advanced licenses. Also, the option will be available if there is a feature dataset as it is a property of a feature dataset.

However, you can create map topology from arcmap with basic license but that is not as useful as a geodatabase topology.
