Mobile Now Included with Your ArcGIS10 License

ArcGIS customers can now extend their GIS to the field using their existing ArcGIS 10 product license.
What do I get?

As of the release of ArcGIS 10, one license of ArcGIS Mobile is included with each ArcGIS Desktop 10 (ArcInfo, ArcEditor, or ArcView) license. This is in addition to the already unlimited licenses of ArcGIS Mobile included with ArcGIS Server Advanced Enterprise.
Why use ArcGIS Mobile?

Use ArcGIS Mobile to improve the efficiency of your field operations while increasing the accuracy of your GIS data. Access mobile technology from ArcGIS Desktop to

View and navigate mobile maps.

Collect, edit, and update information in real time.
Manage data, maps, tasks, and projects.

Rapidly deploy mobile capabilities without needing to develop your own solution.

How do I get ArcGIS Mobile?

ArcGIS Mobile is available for download from the Esri Customer Care portal where all the other ArcGIS 10 downloads can be found.
You will not need a separate authorization code to unlock ArcGIS Mobile. Entitlements are

limited to the number of core ArcGIS licenses your organization owns.
The primary maintenance contact for Esri in your organization is the person authorized to

download ArcGIS Mobile for your organization.
If you don’t have access to the Esri Customer Care portal, please contact the primary maintenance contact for Esri in your organization. If you need assistance, please notify mailto:service@esri.com?subject=Esri.

Migration to ArGIS 10

Most of us are either starting to test or at least starting to think about migrating to ArcGIS 10. In doing so, you probably have many questions. How will this upgrade effect my ArcGIS Server applications (Javascript, Flex, Silverlight)? How will this upgrade effect my ArcGIS Server services? In what order should I upgrade different ArcGIS components? Should I upgrade my operating system at the same time? If any of this sounds familiar, check out the “Migration to ArcGIS Server 10” section on the ArcGIS Resource Center. Although, it is geared towards ArcGIS Server, it does give you some helpful information and links for upgrading other ArcGIS components.
