At any time, you can evaluate ArcGIS Desktop extensions that you have not purchased. The evaluation is free of charge for a fixed period of time.

You can evaluate the following ArcGIS Desktop extensions:

With the ArcGIS Desktop Single Use products, you can enable extensions for evaluation through the authorization process.

To evaluate extensions for the ArcGIS Desktop Concurrent Use products, you must order evaluation authorization numbers.
