ArcGIS and Intergraph
ArcGIS
ArcGIS is software for working with geographical information provided by ESRI. The university has purchased a site license for the software and has set up the license server zod.unfcsd.unf.edu (arcgis-lic.unfcsd.unf.edu) to manage those licenses, but students will have to download the ArcGIS Desktop Student Trial with the authorization number provided by their instructor.
Intergraph
Intergraph (which created GeoMedia) recently merged with ERDAS (which created IMAGINE), and so the licensing process has merged. Students will need to go through the Intergraph license server to license ERDAS IMAGINE and GeoMedia. There will be 150 "single node-locked" (e.g. single-use single-computer) licenses acquired. Dr. Baynard will manage the distribution of the LACs (License Authentication Codes) to students, but ITS will support students who have issues with the licensing itself.
