Esri Installation Instructions
The GPS department provides the students and employees of Rowan University with license to use Esri's suite of geospatial tools. These software are only available on Windows. Click the software to jump to the corresponding installation instructions below.
ArcGIS Desktop
Select the link below to download the executable for ArcGIS Desktop if you have not already done so.
It will prompt you that the file exceeds the maximum file size that Google can scan, and ask if you still want to download: click "download anyway." When it finishes downloading, run the file. This will put the setup files on your computer. When that's done, make sure "Launch the setup program" is checked off and click Close.
Continue through the prompts, accept the master agreement. Accept the defaults. These are fine.
Once the installation is completed, open the Start Menu by clicking on it or hitting the Windows key, and navigate to the ArcGIS folder. Right click on ArcGIS Administrator and select "Run as Administrator."
In the ArcGIS Administrator, select Desktop from the pane on the left.
Select "Advanced (ArcInfo) Concurrent Use" at the top.
Under License Manager, change it to compass.rowan.edu, click OK, then click Apply.
At this point, you should be able to use ArcGIS Desktop software as long as you're on campus, and connected to Rowan's network. If you need to use ArcGIS Desktop while offline or off campus, follow the next few steps.
Back on the left pane, select Borrow/Return. Give this a minute to load. When it does, set the borrow time at the top the maximum limit (360 days), check off the box next to Desktop Advanced and every extension in the list below that you will need to use. If you're unsure which ones you'll need, ask your GIS instructors, or just check them all off.
ArcGIS Pro
Select the link below to download the executable for ArcGIS Pro if you have not already done so.
It will prompt you that the file exceeds the maximum file size that Google can scan, and ask if you still want to download: click "download anyway." When it finishes downloading, run the file. This will put the setup files on your computer. When that's done, make sure "Launch the setup program" is checked off and click Close.
Move through the prompts and accept the master agreement. Accept the defaults, these are fine.
Once the installation is complete, open ArcGIS Pro. There may be a popup saying your account is not authorized to use ArcGIS Pro. You'll have to configure your licensing options.
If you don't see that as a choice, click Settings at the bottom left, then click Licensing from the left sidebar. At the bottom of this page, select "Configure your licensing options."
Just like you would set up the licensing for ArcGIS Desktop, select "Concurrent Use License" as the License Type, select "Advanced" as the License Level, and check off ArcGIS Pro Advanced and all other extensions you will need to use for your class. Ask your professor about this. Click OK. Then, if you need to use Pro off campus, select "Authorize ArcGIS Pro to work offline."
CityEngine
Click the link below to download the CityEngine executable.
Click "download anyway" at the prompt about the file size. When it finishes downloading, run the file. Continue through the prompts, mostly accepting the defaults. It's your choice whether or not to create a Desktop shortcut. At the final prompt, click Install.
When that's done, click Finish. The ArcGIS Administator Wizard will pop up.
For 1. check "CityEngine Concurrent Use." For 2. check "Define a License Manager now" then type "compass.rowan.edu" and click OK.
ArcGIS Administrator will open. If you need to use CityEngine offline, select Borrow/Return on the left side, check off CityEngine, and click Apply.
