If you need ArcGIS to run outside of the ISU network please indicate
this in your note describing why you need to be off-network. While
our
site license allows this for laptops it will require a
specialized authorization process. Faculty, Staff, and Student Education Edition

their classes at http://www.esri.com/industries/apps/education/offers/promo/index.cfm.
