That has been deprecated 31.12.2015. How can I use the tool if Arcinfo isn't available anymore. Is there some other tool that does exactly the same thing? Or can I add the tool directly to ArcMap?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:07:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/how-to-get-to-use-erase-tool-coverage-tools/m-p/634493#M21137 MasiMailammi 2016-01-04T11:07:02Z Re: How to get to use Erase tool (coverage tools) https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/how-to-get-to-use-erase-tool-coverage-tools/m-p/634494#M21138 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Information</P><P></P><P>This is the tool for coverages</P><P><A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/tools/coverage-toolbox/erase.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/tools/coverage-toolbox/erase.htm">Erase—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A></P><P></P><P>This is the information</P><H5>Licensing Information</H5><UL><LI>ArcGIS for Desktop Basic: No</LI><LI>ArcGIS for Desktop Standard: No</LI><LI>ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced: <STRONG>Requires ArcInfo Workstation installed</STRONG></LI></UL><P></P><P>This is what is available now</P><P><A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/tools/analysis-toolbox/erase.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/tools/analysis-toolbox/erase.htm">Erase—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A> </P><P>and its information</P><H6>Licensing Information</H6><UL><LI>ArcGIS for Desktop Basic: No</LI><LI>ArcGIS for Desktop Standard: No</LI><LI>ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced: Yes</LI></UL></BODY></HTML> Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:21:01 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/how-to-get-to-use-erase-tool-coverage-tools/m-p/634494#M21138 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-01-04T11:21:01Z Re: How to get to use Erase tool (coverage tools) https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/how-to-get-to-use-erase-tool-coverage-tools/m-p/634495#M21139 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>And just to add to Dan's comment....</P><P>ArcGIS Desktop&nbsp; Advanced if the "ArcInfo" level, so although you don't need Workstation installed to use the Desktop Erase tools, you still need to be licensed at that level.</P><P></P><P>If you are not, but still have an ArcInfo workstation license that works (maybe older version that is out of maintenance but still legal otherwise), it is still possible to get Workstation up and running on even the newer operating systems, although some things may not work properly.&nbsp; just an fyi.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 04 Jan 2016 16:37:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/how-to-get-to-use-erase-tool-coverage-tools/m-p/634495#M21139 RebeccaStrauch__GISP 2016-01-04T16:37:57Z Re: How to get to use Erase tool (coverage tools) https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/how-to-get-to-use-erase-tool-coverage-tools/m-p/634496#M21140 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for the answers.
