Before beginning, please carefully read the local help documentation below to better understand how to properly install and authorize your ArcGIS Pro software!

Download Esri GIS Software

Click the button below to access K-Stat's secure GIS software server. You must have a valid K-State eID and password to download files. Note that K-State faculty, staff, and students are not authorized to request or download software directly from Esri.

Named User Licenses for ArcGIS Pro

Users of ArcGIS Pro are strongly encouraged to authorize their software using a "named user" license rather than a traditional single-use or concurrent license. To obtain a Named User license, create an Esri account through K-State's ArcGIS Online Portal using your eID and password (instructions in the help document above). The linked account that is created is assigned the GIS Professional Advanced user type and Publisher role in our portal. This user type and role grants a named user license for ArcGIS Pro including all extensions and users to view GIS resources, edit features, create groups and content, and publish features as hosted web layers in the portal.

For ArcGIS Pro users running the software without reliable internet access, the software can be configured to work in "offline" mode. More information on how to do this can be found here (scroll to the bottom of the page). Those who still want a dedicated single-use provisioning file will need to contact Dr. Shawn Hutchinson (shutch@ksu.edu) These files are non longer available for download from our secure server and will be generated upon request.

Provisioning Files for Other ArcGIS Products

Users of ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS City Engine, and ArcGIS Enterprise components should contact Dr. Shawn Hutchinson (shutch@ksu.edu) for new single-use (individual computers) or concurrent use (client licensing from a server) licenses. These files are no longer available for download from our secure server and will be generated upon request. The concurrent use file supports 99 simultaneous users and are ideal for laboratory settings. For more information about how to correctly use provisioning files, see the relevant help file for your version of ArcGIS.
