Use the following links to download ArcGIS software and licenses. This software and licenses are only available to students and employees of UMass Amherst, to only be used education and public research purposes. If you charge moeny or receive payment for services provided using ArcGIS, including research for paying clients, you have to purchase a commercial license direct from ESRI.
If you don't see something you need please contact jkopera@umass.edu and we'll figure out how to get it for you.
Unfortunately ArcGIS only runs on Windows. However, there are alternative GIS apps, in addition to workarounds to get ArcGIS to run in a virtual environment on Mac and Linux: Click here for more info.
ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) has been deprecated by ESRI and is no longer available. We encourage folks to use ArcGIS Pro
