The switch should be transparent to most users. After the switch, there shouldn’t be any difference between the way you go about accessing either Desktop licenses through our License Manager, GIS data through Data Miner and “direct” SDE connections or access to Map Direct.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Question: How much longer will I be able to use ArcGIS Desktop version 9.3x?<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Answer: </b>In order to maintain a flexible and conservative approach to License management we support two versions of ArcGIS Desktop at any given time. We currently support versions 9.3.1 and 10. ESRI rolled-out version 10.1 on June 11<sup>th</sup> of this year and have very recently released service pack 1 to this version. <b> </b>Some users are requesting enterprise access to ArcGIS Desktop version 10.1 and we are preparing our infrastructure to support these requests. Roughly at the time we roll out version 10.1 we will stop supporting version 9.3.x. This will likely occur shortly after the release of version 10.1 service pack 2 which hasn’t yet been announced yet officially but is likely to occur in the spring/early summer of 2013. Please let us know if you have any requirements of version 9.3 which cannot be met with version 10 or 10.1.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Question: I can’t connect to ArcGIS Desktop.
