ESRI Software and Services
NCSU has a campus site license for many ESRI products and online services. Software may be downloaded from OIT's Software Download website and/or from the Libraries' geodata server.
Note: All downloads require authenticating using your NCSU UNITY ID. If you are not a current NCSU faculty, staff, or student, please do not ask for access to these files.
Esri software may be installed on any computer that is either owned by NCSU or personally owned by faculty, staff, or students for educational purposes only.
As of August 2024, here is a list of ESRI products available for NCSU campus:
ArcGIS Online
See our ArcGIS Online page for login instructions through NCSU's Organizational Account. You will also need an AGO account for using ArcGIS Pro, Business Analyst Online, E-Learning, and numerous other Esri apps.
ArcGIS Pro 3.1.3, 3.3.1
Go to Libraries Download Folder to download the core setup installer file for ArcGIS Online. For all details, see the ArcGIS Pro webpage. Requires an ArcGIS Online account.
Go here to see the latest version number installed in Library Data labs. Access may vary for other campus labs. It is also in the Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) through a Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) environment.
CityEngine 2023.1
Libraries Download Folder. Windows, Mac, and Linux versions are provided.
Business Analyst Desktop 2023
This is a very large software app to download and install -- over 100GB. In addition, disk space is needed for the zip files you download and for decompressing these files prior to installation. After installation, you will be asked for the .sdlic license file which is also included in the download folder. Unless you specifically need to use the desktop version of Business Analyst, it is recommended to use Business Analyst Online (BAO) instead, which requires an ArcGIS Online account (see below) with BAO activated.
The Business Analyst Desktop extension is usually installed on a workstation in the Hill Library Data Experience Lab. See the Special Case software page for current info.
Streets Data included with Business Analyst may be used for geocoding a large quantity of addresses or network routing in ArcGIS Desktop. This dataset is only to be used for classroom, educational, and non-commercial research purposes.
Other Software
Numerous other ESRI products are available upon request. These include Drone2Map Standard, Server, Aviation, Maritime, Defense, Production Mapping, and Roads and Highways. Contact Data Services with any requests and questions.
Esri Training
Formerly known as "Esri Academy" and "Virtual Campus." See GIS Training and Learning.
