Placement Student opportunity

Esri UK are looking for a keen and enthusiastic undergraduate to fill an upcoming vacancy for a placement student. Working in the Technical Solutions Group the successful candidate will provide technical assistance to the team. The role will be based in Aylesbury and commence in September 2012. Please feel free to forward to your students. They can find out more information here.

New script available to support borrowed concurrent licensing

Esri UK have written a python script that will decrease the time limit on the license manager for concurrent licensing. It will automatically decrease the license time per day, so at the beginning of the year, a borrowed concurrent license will last for 365 days, but as the year goes on this limit will decrease automatically. If you would like more information about how to access to this script please contact Esri UK. Please note this is provided outside of the Esri Chest agreement and is unsupported.

Trouble licensing our technology for personal computers?

If you are not on option 1 or 2 of the current Chest agreement and are struggling to license the software for use on personal computers please contact Esri UK for some additional advice.
