<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Good news – DEP was a</span>ble<span
style='color:#1F497D'> to negotiate an Enterprise License Agreement with ESRI
which entitles us to unlimited usage of ArcInfo, ArcView, and most extensions
while on the DEP network! ESRI just sent us the first batch of licenses,

use!</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='color:#1F497D'> We would like to reduce and potentially eliminate
license denials. We will have as many on-network licenses as we need for
ArcGIS Desktop. Since a license should always be available, you should no
longer need to leave ArcGIS running all the time or have to launch it early in
the morning just to checkout a license. To reduce network traffic and server
strain, only use the software when you need it. If we run out of licenses
in the future, we will obtain more from ESRI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
