The software DVD includes a link to a complete ArcGIS Desktop Installation Guide. It is recommended that students review this guide prior to installing the student software. Students must choose a “Complete” installation in order to have access to the ArcGIS extensions.
Remind students to register extensions at the same time as they register the ArcView software. This is accomplished via a “Complete Install” of the software.
If a student has not registered their extensions, they can do so at a later time by going to the Start/Programs/ArcGIS/Desktop Administrator menu. From there, the student can click on "Register Single Use ArcView and Extensions" and follow the registration wizard.
Students need to activate the extensions they wish to use by going to the Tools/Extensions menu and clicking on the extensions that they wish to use in ArcMap and ArcCatalog.
Yes, you need to register the ArcView 9.3 Student Edition and each of the extensions you wish to use with ESRI before you can begin using any of them. You can register via the ESRI Web site, e-mail, fax, or mail.
When you install ArcView 9.3, you are installing the ArcGIS Desktop applications ArcMap and ArcCatalog. ArcGIS is the name that appears in the Start program menu, not ArcView.
ArcView 9.3 consists of two desktop applications: ArcMap and ArcCatalog. ArcMap provides data display, query, and analysis. ArcCatalog provides data management. When you want to begin using ArcView, you need to open each of these applications (Start >Programs >ArcGIS> then choose ArcMap and ArcCatalog). Once open, each application window reads ArcMap–ArcView; ArcCatalog–ArcView.
Yes. The ArcGIS extensions work with ArcView 9.3. They are called the ArcGIS extensions since they work with ArcView 9.3, ArcEditor 9.3, and ArcInfo 9.3, collectively known as ArcGIS Desktop.
