Licensing
VertiGIS Studio Licensing
VertiGIS Studio Printing is licensed software.
To obtain a license, contact Customer Service.
Printing is also available as a free 60-day trial with full functionality for evaluation purposes.
ArcGIS Identity
Printing uses the modern ArcGIS pattern and ArcGIS Identities to author and access content and applications. Printing uses an Esri portal to store your print layout items. You must have either ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise Portal 10.8.1+.
For on-premises installations of Studio Printing, the Printing Engine is deployed within your ArcGIS Enterprise environment, so an ArcGIS Enterprise license is required. The Cloud version does not require an ArcGIS Enterprise license. See On-Premises Printing vs Cloud Printing for more information.
Authoring Requirements

Requirements for On-Premises Printing
On-premises deployments require ArcGIS Enterprise to host and execute the GP task of the ArcGIS Pro-based Printing Engine.
Supported Versions of Portal for ArcGIS
VertiGIS Studio Printing works with Portal for ArcGIS in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1+.
We strongly recommend you use ArcGIS Enterprise 1.11 or later and the CIM3 - v3 version of the ArcGIS Pro-based Printing Engine.
The CIM3 version of the ArcGIS Pro-based Printing Engine has more functionality and performs better than the CIM2 - v2 version of the ArcGIS Pro-based Printing Engine.
Hardware Requirements for On-Premises Printing Servers
Most of the processing is handled by theArcGIS Pro-based Printing Engine GP task running on your ArcGIS Enterprise server.

Operating System Requirements for On-Premises Printing Servers
On-premises Printing servers require Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, or Windows Server 2025.
Web Server Requirements for On-Premises Printing Servers
On-premises Printing servers require the Internet Information Services (IIS) feature of the Windows operating system. The Post Installer application automatically enables IIS by enabling the Web Server role, along with the Application Initialization, ASP.NET 4.5, Windows Authentication, and WebSocket Protocol service roles and all of their service role dependencies.
If you uninstall on-premises Printing, all previously enabled IIS features remain enabled.
.NET Requirements for On-Premises Printing Servers
On-premises Printing servers require .NET Framework 4.8+.
Ports
On-premises Printing does not expose any ports, so you do not need to adjust your firewall settings. VertiGIS Studio Printing (including Print Designer) relies on the ports that IIS uses (ports 80 and 443 by default).
TCP/IPv6 Requirements
By default, ArcGIS Enterprise servers are configured to allow TCP/IPv6. Disabling this setting prevents the ArcGIS Pro-based Printing service from functioning correctly on-premises.
Cookie Requirements
VertiGIS Studio Printing does not use cookies.
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Requirements
By default, ArcGIS portals (including ArcGIS Online) allow cross-domain requests using CORS. If you configure the Organization | Settings | Security | Allow Origins setting in the portal that you use with VertiGIS Studio Printing, then you must add VertiGIS Studio Printing as an allowed origin.
The origin to allow depends on your deployment:
▪ArcGIS Online with Cloud Printing: If you use ArcGIS Online with cloud Printing and your organization has configured the Allow Origins setting in ArcGIS Online, then you must add apps.vertigisstudio.com as an allowed origin.
▪ArcGIS Online with On-Premises Printing: If you use ArcGIS Online with on-premises Printing and your organization has configured the Allow Origins setting in ArcGIS Online, then you must add your VertiGIS Studio Printing server as an allowed origin.
▪On-Premises Portal for ArcGIS with On-Premises Printing: If you use an on-premises portal with on-premises Printing and your organization has configured the Allow Origins setting in your portal, then you must add your VertiGIS Studio Printing server as an allowed origin.
