We will extend the license terms of customers actively using their ArcGIS for Schools Bundle to July 31, 2027.  Customers who have logged into their activated ArcGIS Online organization at least once between January 1, 2023 and April 1, 2025 will be considered “Active” customers. Active customers will not need to request an extension.  

Customers who requested software but did not activate it or who haven’t logged into their ArcGIS Online organization since January 1, 2023 will be considered “Inactive” and their license term will not be extended.  Their ArcGIS for Schools Bundle license will expire on July 31, 2025.  They may request a new license if they wish to use ArcGIS.
