Preferably, most of the GIS users at harvard can take advantage of ArcView as part of the standard suite of software that is distributed on the LAN at their particular school. These local coordinators must be officers of Harvard who are willing to agree to a few site license responsibilities. Though arcview seats are free for harvard users, the costs for media, and keeping track of installations and distributions and upgrades are not. This network is the best means of assuring access to arcview to everyone including users who do not have the gumption or forethuought to obtain their own copy. The only way I have been able to grow this network is by offering free media and upgrades to qualified coordinators, and witholding free media from departments who are not organized enough to provide free software to their users.
Media purchased by individuals is licensed for use on one computer only.
Multiple installations are a privilege of registered site license coordinators only. There are several avenues available for getting technical support for ArcView. Departments who are paying for ArcInfo or workstation ArcView have unimited technical support included in their package. When ordering, make sure to ask for university pricing. ESRI Supported Forums.
