Is there a companion document with the pricing for education institutions that need to purchase additional resources, like extra Professional Plus user types, additional Credits, StreetMap Premium, etc.?  Thanks!

Does this mean that Esri is charging for  K-12 school licenses?

@PeterKnoop- I don't believe that the Education team is authorized to post education pricing as it relates to education institution agreements. I can email you a slide of the pricing for additional named users and service credits. The pricing for add-on such as StreetMap Premium and Site Scan depends on various factors. 

@krisam01- There are some large K-12 school districts that participate in an education institution agreement. Some of those districts use the academic licenses provided in the longstanding agreement. Individual schools are still able to sign up for the ArcGIS for Schools program for free from the Esri Store. Also free is the National Geographic MapMaker which is a great start for teachers and students who are new to geospatial thinking and mapping.

@AnnMasangcay  Does that mean we should contact you or our account manager for that listing that @PeterKnoop  asked for? 

[MarkLecher1]

@PeterKnoop  and @ShannonHWhite  I have sent you emails with details.

The Esri Educational Institution Agreement Overview is a must read document for those interested in helping to make our world a better place to live.   2026 ESRI UC is going on now in San Diego, and many educators are there trying to figure out the way forward.  Time for doing more to engage students, especially in higher education to find entryways working with the SDG challenge.   

Amazingly  MAP MAKER SUSTAIN – designed by ESRI and National Geographic.( start 47.5 minutes into session 3. CEO Jill Tiefenthaler and ESRI's Jack Dangermond highlight the importance of getting students engaged  Plenary on demand - https://www.esri.com/en-us/home

Lots of learning opportunities.

For ArcGIS Enterprise -- for both Academic and Administrative -- are the User Type counts total across all Enterprise deployments for the category, or per Enterprise deployment? 

For example, for a Large institution, for Administrative Use, it looks like you can license up to 10 Enterprise deployments. For the indicated 20 Professional Plus User Types, is that 20 per Enterprise deployment, or 20 that have to be spread across up to 10 Enterprise deployments?

And, to complicate matters further, it looks like a Large institution could license up to10 Enterprise staging environments and 10 Enterprise deployment environments. So are the 20 Professional Plus meant to be spread across all 20 instances, or is it 20 PP per Enterprise instance?

Presumably which ever approach is the correct one for determining how many Professional Plus you have total also applies for Mobile Worker and user Extensions?

Thank you to everyone for contributing to making this string a great discussion.  I have been focusing on the University of California Sustainability guidelines , and was impressed by the depth of this discussion.   =https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/3100155/SustainablePractices.
