Software

You will be provided ArcGIS 9.3 and Google SketchUp Pro 7 software in the class that you can use on your personal computers (Auth Info). However you need to sign up on your own to get Adobe InDesign CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4. A fully functional 30-day trial copy is available from the Adobe website.


Application Server

You can get access to ArcGIS 9.2 and Adobe CS3 via the Citrix Application Server which allows you run applications that are not installed on your local computer from a remote server. This service works on both Mac's and PC's over any internet connection and all you need it the free Citrix client installed to your local system.
