ArcGIS for Personal Use licenses are delivered via an email containing two unique activation tokens for both My Esri and ArcGIS Online.

To ensure continued access, a 12-month Personal Use subscription can be purchased here, with the option to setup automatic renewal. Please note there is a limit of one Personal Use licence per customer at a time.

The first step is to create an ArcGIS Public Account that will be used throughout the activation process. Click here for more information.

My Esri is a single website for managing all aspects of your Esri products including software downloads, e-learning and transaction information. 

After creating your Public Account, open the delivery email that contains the My Esri activation link and sign in to activate your My Esri Organisation. Click here for more information.

ArcGIS Online is a web-based version of the ArcGIS program. In the email, you will receive an activation link to access ArcGIS Online. This account will need to be activated in order to access all the available downloads and the associated ArcGIS Pro license. Further information on the capabilities can be accessed here.

ArcGIS Pro uses a different license model to ArcMap. The license for ArcGIS Pro sits as a named user license within the ArcGIS Online subscription and it must be activated to allow you to use the ArcGIS Pro license.

To activate your ArcGIS Online subscription, you will need to click on the ArcGIS Online activation link provided when you received your order. Once you click on the link, you will be prompted to convert a public account or create a new account. Click here for more details on activating your ArcGIS Online subscription.

ArcGIS Pro and Pro extension licenses are managed through your ArcGIS Online subscription. After activating the ArcGIS Online subscription, you will need to allocate your ArcGIS Pro extensions to your user name. Click here for more information. 

On your machine start the program via Start Menu > All Programs > ArcGIS > ArcGIS Pro. A sign in dialogue box or prompt will appear for you to provide the credentials associated with your ArcGIS Online account, then click Sign In.

Personal Use licences will no longer include Desktop/ArcMap which enters mature support on 1 March 2024 and is scheduled to be retired on 1 March 2026.
