The Esri Education Institution Agreement Permitted Uses Rubric provides a framework for determining what uses are permitted under the terms of the Esri Education Institution Agreement and what uses require a standard commercial license. 

We are committed to providing educational institutions with broad access to ArcGIS at an affordable cost, while balancing the costs to Esri so that the Esri Education Program remains sustainable. We focus on including the core capabilities of ArcGIS in the Education Program offerings, so not every Esri product is available through the Education Program.
