Before you install ArcGIS for Desktop:

Check our system requirements to make sure your computer has the hardware and software required for the trial.

• If necessary, install the Microsoft .NET Framework (version 3.5 Service Pack 1 or higher).
• If you have ArcGIS version 10.1 or later installed, you do not need to uninstall it before installing version 10.2x or 10.3x; the ArcGIS setup package will detect and upgrade your ArcGIS for Desktop software.
• If you have ArcGIS version 10.0 or earlier installed, please uninstall it using the Uninstall Utility (download below) before installing ArcGIS 10.2x or 10.3x.

Activate you authorization code:
