ArcGIS software

At the end of 1999, the GWDG concluded a campus license agreement with ESRI Deutschland GmbH (ESRI, Environmental Systems Research Institute) for the use of ESRI products. This campus license agreement was extended to all universities in Lower Saxony as a state framework agreement under the leadership of the GWDG on 01.01.2011.

On 01.01.2019, this was newly concluded and will be renewed annually.

Based on the campus license agreement, the software can be used to a greater extent in work in the field of geodata research. The agreement also allows unlimited use of the licensed products by all Lower Saxony universities in Göttingen.

The institutions which are allowed to use the software do finance the campus license. Therefore, the participation in the use of ESRI products in Göttingen under the campus license agreement requires the conclusion of an agreement with the GWDG, in which the adoption of the use of the corresponding part of the annual license fee is confirmed. The software ArcGIS from the campus license may only be used after the completion of such an agreement.

The cost depends on the number of users.

After completion of the agreement the selected ArcGIS products can be obtained from GWDG's ArcGIS software depot. Detailed documentation of the individual programs are online on the installation CDs.

More information about ESRI GIS products and topics can be found on the US-American ESRI server (http://www.esri.com). Currently valid for the German market is only what is published on the German ESRI server (http://www.esri.de)!
