ArcGIS CityEngine

Description

To streamline and simplify our licensing experience and provide customers with expanded access to additional capabilities and apps in a streamlined way, ArcGIS CityEngine will be available only through Professional and Professional Plus user types. The following licenses will no longer be sold:

June 2025

• ArcGIS CityEngine Single Use Perpetual License
• ArcGIS CityEngine Concurrent Use Perpetual License
• ArcGIS CityEngine for ArcGIS Online Annual Subscription
• ArcGIS Urban Suite Online Annual Subscription
• CityEngine add-on for Creator user type (ArcGIS Online)
• CityEngine add-on for Professional user type (ArcGIS Online)

November 2025

• ArcGIS Urban Suite for ArcGIS Enterprise Annual Subscription
• ArcGIS CityEngine for ArcGIS Enterprise Annual Subscription
• CityEngine add-on license for Creator user type (ArcGIS Enterprise)
• CityEngine add-on license for Professional user type (ArcGIS Enterprise)

Recommendation

• Customers with an existing CityEngine Perpetual license can continue to use CityEngine as usual and continue to purchase maintenance if they choose.
• ArcGIS Online customers with a CityEngine add-on license for the Professional user type will now have access to CityEngine as part of their existing license rather than added on. No action is required.

For other license holders, access to licenses that were previously sold separately will remain functional after the 2025 user types update through the duration of the customer’s subscription. At renewal, quotes will no longer include an additional cost for licenses that were previously sold separately.

• Customers with a CityEngine annual subscription license must be transferred to the Professional or Professional Plus user type.
• Customers with an ArcGIS Urban Suite license must be transferred to the Professional Plus user type.
• ArcGIS Online customers with a CityEngine add-on license for the Creator user type must be transferred from the Creator user type to the Professional user type.

With the ArcGIS Online June 2025 update, ArcGIS Enterprise customers will find additional licenses available to assign to users, at the customer’s discretion, within My Esri. Esri will deliver licenses as follows:

• ArcGIS Urban for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 to 11.5 to all Professional Plus user types
• ArcGIS CityEngine for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4 and 11.5 to all Professional and Professional Plus user types
