If you are taking a course or doing a project, please use a long-term ArcGIS software license instead of this trial. Here's how to find one:

• If you are taking a university GIS course, ask your instructor how to gain access to ArcGIS; many universities around the world have a relationship with Esri and provide access at no cost.
• If you are at a university and not taking a GIS course, contact your IT department, geography department, or library to learn about accessing ArcGIS software.
• If you need further assistance regarding university-provided accounts, use the following resources:
  • Universities in the US, please use this app.
  • Universities outside the US, please contact your distributor. 
• If your university does not provide access to ArcGIS, consider a low-cost ArcGIS for Student Use license.

• An individual membership in an ArcGIS Online organization administered by Learn ArcGIS.
• A suite of ready-to-use apps—for use in the office, field, and your community—that can be accessed on browsers, desktops, and mobile devices.
• 200 ArcGIS Online service credits.

• The trial account is designed for learning and practicing with ArcGIS.
  
• There is no way to convert this temporary trial account into a permanent one and you cannot keep the content created there after the 21-day trial ends.
• Use of the account for courses, workshops, or commercial activities is grounds for early termination.

• When you sign up, use an email address that you check often. If you cannot access the email account, you cannot activate the trial.
• Once you sign up, look for your activation email, information about your trial, and an additional email with end-of-trial resources.
