ESRI Product Names It can be helpful to think of these as Product Levels rather than different products. The ArcGIS Desktop is a family of three products ArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcView that share the same core applications, user interface, and development environment. GIS functionality increases as you move from ArcView to ArcEditor to ArcInfo.

Slide 3

This link provides an explanation of the differences in functionality between the levels: http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/about/gis-for-me.html Each of these product levels has the same set of core features: ArcMap: The primary GIS interface for analysis and mapping ArcCatalog: Allows you to organize and access all GIS information ArcToolbox: Includes analysis and geoprocessing tools ArcScene: Allows you to represent terrain in 3-dimensions (psuedo) ArcGlobe: ESRIs answer to Google Earth, 3D world view Optional Extensions: Enhance the functionality of the ArcGIS Desktop

There are two primary methods for licensing the ArcGIS Desktop: Single Use: This option is only available for the ArcView and ArcEditor product levels. After installation, registration keycodes are used to activate the software. The license is perpetual and will run forever (or at least until your next hard drive failure) Concurrent Use: This option applies primarily to those intending to use ArcInfo or those institutions running a large number of ArcGIS Desktop installations. This product works well in GIS labs or classrooms. This product is installed in similar fashion, but is licensed through a license server. Product licenses typically will time-out on a yearly basis. Those intending to install this version will want to consult with their IT support team regarding the installation of a license server. The following steps will guide you through installation of the Single Use ArcEditor product.
