ArcGIS 10.3 for Students Installation Instructions

1. Before you install ArcGIS for Desktop you will need to activate your authorization code before you will be able to use it to install the software. Your authorization code can be found by logging into the WebStore and clicking on order history. Click on the order number. The code is on this page under the words Digital Asset. To activate it, visit ArcGIS for Education. Log in using your ESRI Global Account, or create a new account, if necessary. Finally enter the authorization code and click submit. We recommend downloading the installer from the WebStore and NOT from ESRI. The ESRI file is going to be a zip file and will be VERY large.
