Installation Requirements and Guidelines

Determine if this is a new installation or an upgrade to an existing installation of ArcGIS for INSPIRE. If you are performing an upgrade, ArcGIS for INSPIRE requires both ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS for Server to be upgraded as well to function properly. There are two sequences to install ArcGIS for INSPIRE, depending on your circumstance.

For new installations and upgrades:

  1. Install ArcGIS for Desktop.
  2. Install ArcGIS for Server.
  3. Install ArcGIS for INSPIRE.

If you have 10.1 or 10.2.x version of ArcGIS or ArcGIS for INSPIRE installed and plan to upgrade, refer to the migration guide MigrationGuide_ArcGISForINSPIRE_10_4_En.pdf for details.

If you have ArcGIS 10 and ArcGIS 1.0 for INSPIRE implementation, you need to uninstall the older version and install the latest version.

For Geoportal Server, the latest version is based on Geoportal Server 1.2.6 with some INSPIRE-specific updates. The Installation steps are the same for Geoportal Server 1.2.6. If it is a new installation, follow these steps:

  1. Access Geoportal Server 1.2.6 from the Download link.
  2. Set up the Geoportal Server database following the Geoportal Server installation guide .
  3. Deploy the INSPIRE geoportal.war file (included in the ArcGIS for INSPIRE package) and follow the Geoportal Server Installation guide for configuration instructions.

If you already have an existing INSPIRE Geoportal Server instance installed and consider upgrading to the INSPIRE Geoportal Server from the latest ArcGIS for INSPIRE package, please read the upgrade overview, which provides a high-level view of considerations when doing a geoportal upgrade.

Installation guide documents, as well as acknowledgments to third parties, whose software has been used in permissible forms with ArcGIS for INSPIRE, are available in the respective component folders (for example, DesktopExt for ArcGIS for INSPIRE Desktop extension).

If you are performing a new installation, you can choose to install Annex I, Land Cover, Geology, Mineral Resources, Land Use, or Statistical Units geodatabase templates, either separately or in combination. The geodatabase templates are available within the installation package. If you are considering upgrading an existing ArcGIS for INSPIRE geodatabase, see ArcGIS for INSPIRE Geodatabase Template Installation Guide for details.

Software Authorization

After installing the software, you must authorize it for use. Log in to the Esri Customer Care portal (customers.esri.com) using your Esri Global Account credentials to obtain the authorization numbers. View the Installation Guide for more information.
