ESRI ArcGIS Pro is a powerful Windows-only desktop GIS software. Dartmouth has a sitewide license for this product.
First, navigate to https://dartmouth.maps.arcgis.com and click "Sign In" in the upper right corner. Click the blue "Dartmouth College" button. Log in with your Dartmouth NetID and password. This will self-provision an "ArcGIS Online" account.
Next, navigate here to download ArcGIS Pro software directly from ESRI , sign in to My.ESRI in the upper right, then click the link for the latest version of ArcGIS Pro.
When the installer downloads, double-click the .exe file to run the installer.
After installing, open ArcGIS Pro (Windows start > ArcGIS > ArcGIS Pro)
If prompted, fill out the sign in form as follows (ArcGIS organization's URL = dartmouth.maps.arcgis.com) and proceed
For licensing, please use the Named-User license option:
Named User licensing:
From an ArcGIS Pro project, click "Project" > Licensing > Configure your licensing options. Then choose "Named User License" and set the ArcGIS Online link to https://dartmouth.maps.arcgis.com/,
If this sign-in does not provision a license, choose the "Configure Licensing" option near the bottom left of the ArcGIS Sign In, and on the 'Licensing' dialog box, change the ArcGIS Online URL to https://arcgis.com/ and click OK.
At any time, ArcGIS Pro licensing can be configured for 'Named User' (ArcGIS Online account,https://dartmouth.maps.arcgis.com), 'Concurrent Licensing' (from a license server) or 'Standalone licensing' (to request, contact us, ideal for fieldwork)

ESRI, the creator of ArcGIS Pro, is changing their licensing method. As always, feel free to reach out to us with any questions about setting up named-user licensing.
