Unlimited software licenses
One copy of software media and documentation
Free access to many ESRI Virtual Campus courses
Technical support through three campus representatives

There are additional administrative costs associated with the site license, such as time and materials required to distribute the software, and part-time salary for a site license administrator. Adminstrative costs are approximately $10,000 annually, thus the total annual cost to run the site license is approximately $35,000. The annual cost is recovered through fees assessed to campus ESRI users.

If you are a student interested in acquiring ESRI software for your personal computer, you can purchase a one-year ArcGIS ArcView 9.x license for $100 and/or a one-year ArcView 3.x license for $250.
