Education Colleagues:
We have a number of important licensing changes ahead of us. We have communicated the removal of ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro SU/CU) consistently and in numerous ways. By now, you have also likely heard the announcement of Esri User Types changes. Please review the following blog describing what this user type configuration change means for Education. Please also take a look at this video (Passcode: Sy!k0!2W) explaining some of these upcoming changes.
In addition, we will also have a GIS Admins Community Meeting Q&A session, meant to serve as accompanying discussion to the above messaging and resources. The purpose of the meeting would be to answer questions, hear comments, address concerns, hear from fellow license administrators, learn from each other, interact as a community. Please join us, if interested, and please feel free to email any questions ahead of time to highered@esri.com.
Last, please review our updated Best Practices for Managing ArcGIS app, outlining many of the recommended practices for deploying and administering ArcGIS in a secure and safe matter, while saving valuable time. We have been discussing these recommendations for quite some time, and hopefully they are not news. Of course, as time progresses and things change, these recommendations have evolved and will continue to evolve.
Look forward to seeing you there!
