The new license administrator and version 10.1 should be available by the <b>end of July</b>. Please note that <span style='color:black'>OTIS/GIS will no longer be able to support version 9.3.1 at that point, you’ll have a choice to use either version 10 or version 10.1. </span><b>Detailed upgrade instructions will follow very soon.<span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>Question: I have a question for ESRI, how do I make contact with them?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>Answer: </span></b><span style='color:black'>ESRI requires that OTIS/GIS staff must act as an initial point of contact for customer service requests coming from our agency. We maintain a knowledge base for questions and requests that are specific to our infrastructure and can many times provide an answer very quickly. From time to time however we encounter an issue that requires the insight of the developers who wrote the application, license agreement administrators or other ESRI staff. In these cases, we open a service request with ESRI and can get you connected directly with ESRI as soon as they reply (sometimes there is a delay caused by the difference in Eastern Standard Time and Pacific Coast Time where ESRI is based). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>Question: Where are you?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>Answer: </span></b><span style='color:black'>We’ve been asked this far more than any one other question.

This survey was designed to determine the state’s needs of LiDAR based elevation products for the purpose of developing a national program to create GIS data products like higher resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), contours of elevation, etc. Survey respondents contributed to a successful outcome for Florida. Of the 50 states in the nation, Florida was ranked highest, along with California in terms of priority of needs. The hope is that this will lead to improved elevation products for Florida sooner rather than later helping many others employed in environmental protection, emergency management, water supply, climate studies, fisheries and wildlife management, forestry, transportation and other industries.
