Deprecated Features for ArcGIS 10.3.1 and 10.4 Releases
Updated August 20, 2015, for ArcGIS 10.3.1 and the upcoming ArcGIS 10.4 release.
The deprecation plan for ArcGIS is updated for every ArcGIS release. We continue to expand coveragefor ArcGIS applications and ArcGIS Runtime SDKs.
With each release, we assess the platforms we support and the functionality in the ArcGIS platform andadjust these based on customer needs and technology trends. The purpose of this document is toprovide as much advance notice as possible regarding these changes.
This document outlines the planned changes in platform and functionality with the release of
ArcGIS 10.3.1 and the upcoming 10.4 beta release. This also includes references to the ArcGIS 10.3,
10.2.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2 deprecation notes.

ArcGIS 10.3

ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Desktop•[Added June 15, 2015] ArcObjects SDK for the Microsoft .NET Framework 10.3.1 was the last
release of ArcObjects .NET to ship with support for the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (.NET 2.0
Runtime). At 10.4, ArcObjects .NET will ship with .NET Framework 4.5.1 as the default. All
developers consuming ArcObjects .NET are encouraged to begin moving existing .NET-based
extensions to .NET Framework 4.5.1 in anticipation of this change. This includes both ArcGIS for
Desktop and ArcGIS for Server extensions. ArcObjects .NET 10.4 will install Primary Interop
Assemblies (PIAs) built against .NET SDK 4.0 , and all new extension development should bestarted on .NET Framework 4.5.1 or later. ArcObjects .NET 10.4 will support Microsoft Visual
Studio 2013 (Note: It will support Visual Studio 2015 if this has been released prior to the 10.4
final.) ArcObjects .NET 10.4 will not be supporting Visual Studio 2012.

•[Updated January 24, 2015] Esri will continue to ship Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications(VBA) compatibility setup with ArcGIS as long as we continue to ship ArcMap or until Microsoft
notifies us that we can no longer distribute this.

•[Added January 24, 2015] Esri will continue to ship the CASE tools with ArcGIS for Desktop
through the 10.3.x releases. For users interested in geodatabase design with UML, we
recommend using Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect, as it offers many advantages over the
CASE tools functionality.

ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Server•[Added June 15, 2015] Support for .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) for ArcGIS Web
Adaptor (IIS) will end with the last release of the ArcGIS 10.3 series of releases (ArcGIS 10.3.1).
At ArcGIS 10.4, ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) will require .NET Framework 4.5.1 or higher.

•[Added June 15, 2015] Portal 10.3.1 for ArcGIS will be the last release supporting Internet
Explorer 7 and 8. This decision is based on Microsoft's statement: "Beginning January 12, 2016,
only the most current version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system
will receive technical support and security updates." Note: Microsoft's policy can be found at
support2.microsoft.com/gp/microsoft-internet-explorer.

•[Added June 15, 2015] Support for the 10.0 SQL Server-based identity store will end with the last
release of the 10.4 series of releases (ArcGIS 10.4.x). Note: From 10.1 onward, we supported thisas a read-only identity store by following a documented migration workflow atserver.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/administer/windows/using-a-10-0-net-sql-server-securitystore-in-later-versions.htm.

•

[Added June 15, 2015] ArcGIS 10.4.x for Server will be the last major release series to include
support for globe services. We recommend customers explore the new 3D web scene support
introduced with ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Server as a powerful new alternative.

•[Added June 15, 2015] ArcGIS 10.4.x for Server will be the last release series to support Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.x. The next major release will only support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x andabove.

•[Added January 24, 2015] ArcGIS Explorer Online has been retired for nearly a year and is nolonger part of our deployment/certification of ArcGIS Online. As such, ArcGIS Explorer will not
be included with future releases of Portal for ArcGIS. Portal 10.3 for ArcGIS does not include
support for ArcGIS Explorer Online.

•[Added January 24, 2015] ArcGIS API 3.7 for Flex and ArcGIS Viewer 3.7 for Flex will be the final
releases. For information on the end of life (retired date) for Flex API and Flex Viewer, seedownloads.esri.com/support/product%20life%20cycle/online_gis/ArcGISWebMappingAPIs_PLC.

Other 10.3.1 Notes•[Added June 15, 2015] Beginning with the December 2015 update, ArcGIS Online configurable
app templates and map viewer will no longer support Internet Explorer 7 and 8. This decision isbased on Microsoft's statement: "Beginning January 12, 2016, only the most current version ofInternet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support andsecurity updates." Note: Microsoft's policy can be found at
support2.microsoft.com/gp/microsoft-internet-explorer.

•[Added June 15, 2015] ArcGIS 10.3.1 and ArcGIS Pro 1.1 will be the last release to support the
Oracle 10g R2 10.2.0.x series of releases. For ArcGIS 10.4 and ArcGIS Pro 1.2, we are planning tosupport Oracle 11g R2 (64 bit) 11.2.0.4 and Oracle 12c R1 (64 bit) 12.1.0.1. Note: Oracle ended
premier support for Oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.x) on July 2010 and extended support ended on July
2013. For details on Oracle support for 11g R2 (11.2.x), see
https://blogs.oracle.com/UPGRADE/entry/premier_support_for_oracle_11.

•[Updated June 15, 2015] ArcGIS 10.3.1 and ArcGIS Pro 1.1 will be the last release to support the
PostgreSQL 9.1.x series of releases. For ArcGIS 10.4 and ArcGIS Pro 1.2, we are planning tosupport PostgreSQL 9.2.x, 9.3.x, and 9.4.x. Customers that are using PostgreSQL 9.1.14 or an
earlier release will need to upgrade their PostgreSQL.

•[Added June 15, 2015] Beginning with ArcGIS 10.3, we no longer support configuring standalone log files. The replacement for the ArcSDE command line tool for configuring log files is theConfigure Geodatabase Log files tool. The options for log file type with this tool are Shared or
Session, so this tool does not configure stand-alone log files. If you have existing stand-alone log
files, you can continue to use them; however, customers using stand-alone log files areencouraged to move to the default log file type for their database.

•[Added June 24, 2015] ArcGIS 10.4 will be the last release to support storing locators in a file orenterprise geodatabase. Esri recommends that customers begin to move their locators out of
their file or enterprise geodatabases into a file folder location instead. Note: ArcGIS Pro only
supports storing address locators in a file folder—not in a geodatabase.

•[Updated August 10, 2015] ArcGIS 10.4 will be the last release that supports Oracle Spatial
GeoRaster data type. Since the release of ArcGIS Image Extension for Server, Esri has beenpromoting the use of mosaic datasets stored in a file or enterprise geodatabase as an optimum
model to not only catalog the rasters and metadata but optimally to define processing rules
defining how the imagery should be processed when accessed. This approach of leaving theimagery in its original form can significantly reduce data storage and processing by removing theneed to store multiple variations of the same data source. After the 10.4 release, existing datastored in Oracle Spatial GeoRaster will be read-only. Also note that ArcGIS Pro does not support
the Oracle Spatial GeoRaster data type.

•[Updated June 27, 2015] Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 will end with the last
release of the ArcGIS 10.3 series of releases (ArcGIS 10.3.x). ArcGIS Pro 1.x does not support SQL
Server 2008 and 2008 R2.

[Added July 2, 2015] Because of web technology trends, the ArcGIS Maps Silverlight web part, afeature of Esri Maps for SharePoint, will be deprecated after the Esri Maps for SharePoint 4.0
release. The ArcGIS Maps JavaScript web part, a feature of Esri Maps for SharePoint, contains
many enhanced features not available in the ArcGIS Maps Silverlight web part. It is
recommended that customers use the ArcGIS Maps JavaScript web part in place of the ArcGIS
Maps Silverlight web part—you will no longer be able to add new ArcGIS Map Silverlight web
parts to site pages. To continue using your existing web parts, upgrade all sites containing the
web part to Esri Maps for SharePoint 4.0 and save the pages. You'll then be able to continue
using the ArcGIS Maps Silverlight web parts seamlessly.

•[Added January 24, 2015 and Updated February 12, 2015] ArcGIS 10.3 supports PostgreSQL
9.1.14.1, 9.2.9, and 9.3.5. Customers that are using PostgreSQL 9.0.5 or an earlier release willneed to upgrade their PostgreSQL.

New Updates for ArcGIS Runtime SDKs and Apps•

[Added June 15, 2015] ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.5 for Qt is the last version to support OpenGL on
Windows. ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.6 for Qt will only support DirectX. ArcGIS Runtime SDK for
Qt will continue to support OpenGL on Linux.

•[Added June 15, 2015] ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.6 for Qt will be the last release with support for
locator packages (.gckp files). Locator packages are created by ArcGIS for Desktop for sharing
locators. See desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/guide-books/geocoding/about-sharingyour-address-locator-as-a-locator-package.htm. Note: ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.5 for theMicrosoft .NET Framework and ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.4 for Java were the last releases of
those SDKs to support locator packages. ArcGIS Runtime SDKs for Android, iOS, and OS neversupported locator packages.

•[Updated August 10, 2015] ArcGIS Runtime core has dropped support for Red Hat EnterpriseLinux 6 and only supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for the upcoming Quartz release. Thismeans that the most recent releases of Runtime SDKs were the last ones to include support for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Users who need continued support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
will have these versions available for their applications. The reason for this change is so the
ArcGIS Runtime core can take advantage of the most current C++ compiler features available.

•[Added February 19, 2015] ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.3 for Qt was the last release to support Linux
32 bit. ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.5 for Qt will support 64-bit Linux only. Note: The Qt SDK did nothave a 10.2.4 release.

•[Added January 24, 2015] ArcGIS Runtime SDK 10.2.5 for WPF will be the final release of the
product. Technical support will be available through 2015. Customers who develop with ArcGIS
Runtime SDK for WPF are encouraged to use ArcGIS Runtime SDK for the Microsoft .NET
Framework, which includes support for building WPF applications. For more information, see
the Product Life Cycle for WPF SDK.

Other 10.2 Notes•[Added June 27, 2014] While we are not announcing the deprecation of ArcGIS for iOS and
ArcGIS for Android (sometimes referred to as the ArcGIS "green app" or "ArcGIS app for
Smartphones and Tablets"), this is to serve notice that no further updates are planned. If you
are currently using either ArcGIS for iOS or ArcGIS for Android, you can continue to use it.
However, we encourage you to evaluate our other app alternatives including ArcGIS Explorer,
Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS, and Collector for ArcGIS or use browser-based templates. For
more information, see Knowledge Base Technical Article no. 42833. Note: This is the index, and42830–42832 are the individual FAQs for the green app.

•

[Added June 27, 2014] ArcGIS will continue to support CASE tools through the ArcGIS 10.3
release. However, CASE tools may not be shipped with future releases of ArcGIS that follow
10.3. For users interested in geodatabase design with UML, we recommend using Sparx
Systems' Enterprise Architect, as it offers many advantages over the CASE tools functionality.

•[Updated November 22, 2013] The ArcGIS 10.2 series of releases (ArcGIS 10.2, 10.2.1, and10.2.2) will be the last releases that support the License Manager on the Solaris operating

Last Updated August 20, 2015

•[Updated November 22, 2013] ArcGIS 10.2 is the last release that supports the ArcPad extension
to ArcGIS for Server. The ArcPad extension for ArcGIS for Server will not ship with ArcGIS 10.2.1.
Users are encouraged to use the new ArcPad feature service capabilities in 10.2 to support
disconnected workflows and synchronization to ArcGIS 10.2 for Server services.
Note: ArcPad 10.2 will support online and offline editing through hosted and on-premises
feature services, so there's no need for the ArcPad server extension for 10.1 and 10.2 services.
We recommend using this native capability if users have 10.1 services. This feature service
capability will also work with 10.0 services, but the REST endpoint didn't have all the capabilities
it has now (e.g., related tables). For this reason, we will ship the server extension with
ArcPad 10.2. It's the same server extension and is being provided for those who want the newversion of ArcPad and have 9.3 services or who have 10.0 services and need related tablesupport. In the next version of ArcPad, we will not ship the extension.

•

ArcGIS Explorer Online is now in extended phase support. While it will continue to be available,
it is no longer being updated.
Complimentary use of Microsoft's Bing Maps with ArcGIS will be phased out completely by
December 31, 2013. For additional details, refer to this document: links.esri.com/bing_faq.

•

Esri will end support for the legacy ArcGIS Online geocoding and routing services hosted ontasks.arcgisonline.com on December 31, 2013. These are currently in extended support. These
legacy geocoding and routing services have been replaced by new services available with an
ArcGIS Online organizational subscription. The legacy services that will end on December 31,
2013, include the European Address Locator, North American Address Locator, North American
Address Locator (ArcGIS 10 style), United States Street Locator, United States Street Locator(ArcGIS 10 style), World Places Locator, European Routing, and North American Routing.

•[Added September 16, 2013] Esri will no longer support the 32-bit version of CityEngine forWindows. CityEngine 2012 will be the last 32-bit release. This means that CityEngine 2013 will
be supported on 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.

•[Added November 22, 2013] Esri will continue to support the Smart Data Compression (SDC)
format through the 10.2 series of releases (ArcGIS 10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2).
