As of 1 May 2025, ArcGIS Desktop will no longer be included in the campus licence. The licence server (single user/concurrent user) will be shut down and ArcGIS Desktop users will need to migrate to ArcGIS Pro (named user).

The following steps are necessary:

1. Users apply for an ArcGIS Online account at software(at)b-tu.de
2. After setting up the account, users log in to ArcGIS Online to complete the registration process.
3. ArcGIS Pro can now be downloaded and installed from ArcGIS Online (ArcGIS Online account details are required to activate the licence).
4. Import/open the old ArcGIS Desktop files.

Detailed instructions and information on migration can be found in the following documents and websites:
