Single license (Single Use)

Single licenses are bound to the hardware of the computer.

A single license always ends with the license year from 2020 on 31.01 of a year. To license the software you will receive a license file or an authorization number from the computing centre. When installing the software, the license manager must be installed and the name of the local computer must be entered in the ArcGIS administrator for the desired product (Single Use).

Authorization:

For the use of the software version 9.x no internet connection of the computer is required. Licensing is based on the MAC address.

ESRI has changed its licensing policy for the use of version 10.x.

On computers with an Internet connection, the software is authorized online once during the initial installation of ESRI.

Computers that do not have an Internet connection can also have the software authorized by ESRI by email or via an ESRI website. Use any computer that has an Internet connection for this purpose.

Network licences (concurrent use)

A network license is a so-called floating license. This means that the user can use his licenses on as many computers as he likes - but only as many licenses as he owns. The software is licensed by a license manager, which is located on one of the license servers of the computing centre. All computers mentioned must therefore have a connection to the university network, if necessary via VPN. When installing the software, make sure that the license manager is not installed. Instead, enter the name of the computing centre license server

lizmanesri10.rz.uni-kiel.de

in the ArcGIS administrator. A network license can start continuously per year and usually ends after one year.

If you have problems using the license manager, please refer to our notes on using the ArcGIS license manager.

Licenses for students

Students who need a license are asked to send an email to campuswissenen@rz.uni-kiel.de from their student email address, stating what they need the license for (Bachlor/Master/Doctor's thesis, course, etc.), to write. The software must be downloaded from the server of the computing centre. (depending on the version, the ISO images are too large to be burned on DVD).

The company ESRI Deutschland GmbH has published a video guide for downloading and installing the software (in german) at
