System Requirements

These are the special installation and configuration requirements and/or possibilities for using the FDO Provider for ArcGIS.

ESRI Software and Licenses
The operation of the FDO Provider for ArcGIS is dependent on the presence of the ESRI ArcEngine 9.3.1 and a valid license for it. The ESRI ArcEngine is included with the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop products: ArcView®, ArcEditor®, or ArcInfo. The ESRI ArcEngine is also available with customized ESRI applications from several ESRI developers/vendors. There is no need for any additional ESRI license to run the FDO Provider for ArcGIS once you have installed one of the above mentioned products.

NOTE: The feature set for the FDO Provider for ArcGIS  depends on the ESRI license type you have.

For more information about installing the ArcGIS 9.3.1 Desktop applications and license types, refer to the ESRI documentation.
