<p class=MsoNormal>As many have reported over the past several weeks, it seems
to be getting harder to check out a license to use ArcView / ArcInfo. It looks
like the License Manager was not releasing licenses properly when folks logged
out. We have started rebooting the license manager every evening to try
to combat this. As of today, licenses should be easier to check out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As usual, please log out of ArcMap / ArcCatalog when you’re
finished using it so that other folks can get their work done.
Additionally, only use ArcInfo when necessary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Keep in mind that most GIS data-viewing can be accomplished
via Mapdirect:<o:p></o:p></p>

(then pick a focus under “Change Map Focus”)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Additionaly, ESRI’s ArcGIS Explorer is a great (and free)
tool to use. We will start adding DEP data to this product sometime in
April:<o:p></o:p></p>
