Additional Information

ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene, ArcGlobe, and ArcMap-based extensions) entered Mature Support on March 1, 2024, which marked the end of functionality-based software updates, patches, and hot fixes. ArcGIS Desktop will be deprecated on July 1, 2024, with no quotes for sales of additional licenses. To provide our users with the best experience with our fully supported desktop GIS solution, we are focusing on ArcGIS Pro. This transition enables us to deliver enhanced features and comprehensive support. https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/arcgis-desktop-deprecation-000032677
