8. Security and License Students must login into the server Students must login into the software Can assign specific students to specific software Software hits license manager Inside the college firewall 8

9. Base Maps Using an ArcGis Server base map – direct connect within ArcGIS Using compressed data – from html and Sharepoint sites Using data from mass storage array – direct connect to data include geodatabases, data is moved to the student location using ArcCatalog Connection to online base maps such as Esri Online 9
