For the purpose of clarity, personal computers running Windows XP and Vista will bereferred to as desktop PCs in this installation guide. This will help to avoid confusion when
Windows Mobile devices and desktop PCs are mentioned in the same sentence.
Installing ArcPad is a five-step (or four-step if you do not require server synchronization)
process:
1.

Install Microsoft ActiveSync® (for Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device
Center (for Windows Vista) on your desktop PC if you intend to install ArcPad 8.0
on a Windows Mobile computer.

2.

Establish a synchronization connection between your desktop PC and the Windows
Mobile computer. This step is only required if you intend to install ArcPad on a
Windows Mobile computer.

3.

Insert the ArcPad 8 installation media. Select Install ArcPad from the ArcPad 8
DVD setup menu to install ArcPad 8 and all the components on your desktop PC.

4.

After installing ArcPad on your desktop PC, the setup program will launch the
ArcPad Deployment Manager to install ArcPad and the various components to your
Windows Mobile computer.

The ArcPad Deployment Manager can also be started from your desktop PC by clicking
Start > All Programs > ArcGIS > ArcPad 8.0 > ArcPad Deployment Manager.
5.

Insert the ArcPad 8 installation media into the machine where ArcGIS Server isinstalled. From the ArcPad 8 DVD setup menu, select Install ArcGIS Server
ArcPad Extension. The ArcGIS Server ArcPad Extension requires ArcGIS ServerEnterprise Advanced Edition 9.3 (.Net) or higher. This step is only required if you
intend to synchronize ArcPad data with ArcGIS Server.

ArcPad 8.0 requires an ArcPad registration number for continuous use. Without a registration
number, ArcPad will operate in evaluation mode—all ArcPad functionality will be active—
however, ArcPad will automatically time out after 20 minutes of use. You can then start ArcPad
again and evaluate it for another 20 minutes before ArcPad times out. Entering a valid ArcPad
registration number disables the time-out. An ArcPad registration number is supplied when you
purchase ArcPad 8.0.
ArcPad 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x registration numbers are not valid for ArcPad 8.0.
