Requirements

Licensing

VertiGIS Studio Licensing

VertiGIS Studio Printing is licensed software. The license that you choose depends on the number of ArcGIS identities (named users for ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS) that your organization has.

To obtain a license, contact Customer Service at customerservice-ca@vertigis.com.

Printing is also available as a free 60-day trial with full functionality for evaluation purposes.

Esri Licensing

Printing is designed to consume and display content from a variety of Esri software; the Esri licenses required to author and publish content are available from your Esri distributor.

Printing uses the modern ArcGIS pattern and ArcGIS Identities to author and access applications. You must have at least a Creator user type (formerly, a Level 2 user) or a GIS Professional user type to create content in Printing. An Esri portal (ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS Enterprise) and the ArcGIS Identities themselves are also available from your Esri distributor.

Authoring Requirements

Sign-in Requirements

You require an ArcGIS Identity to create and share VertiGIS Studio print templates.

Browser Requirements for VertiGIS Studio Print Designer

Print Designer runs in a desktop environment. Designer supports the following browsers:

Print Designer requires a 64-bit browser.

Supported Host Applications

You can use the following applications to host print templates:

Supported Client Browsers

To generate printable maps, the browser should meet the host application's browser requirements:

Requirements for On-Premises Printing

To use local resources in prints, you must use on-premises Printing. The VertiGIS Studio Printing cloud servers cannot resolve your server's host name to connect to the server. For more information, see On-Premises Printing vs. Cloud Printing.

If you want to host print templates in 3D Web AppBuilder apps, you must use Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition). On-premises Printing cannot print 3D web scenes from the ArcGIS Enterprise version of Web AppBuilder. See Supported Host Applications.

Supported Versions of Portal for ArcGIS

VertiGIS Studio Printing works with Portal for ArcGIS in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6+.

If Portal for ArcGIS is secured using Windows Integrated Security and anonymous access to the portal is disabled in IIS, you must install the VertiGIS Studio Web Adaptor Extensions to allow VertiGIS Studio Printing to communicate with Portal for ArcGIS. The Service Account configured in the Post Installer must be an account recognized by IIS on the Portal machine.

Hardware Requirements for On-Premises Printing Servers

A faster CPU and more memory improve the performance of VertiGIS Studio Printing. We recommend that your server surpass the minimum requirements.

Operating System Requirements for On-Premises Printing Servers

On-premises Printing servers require Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, or Windows Server 2022.

You can use a recent desktop version of Windows, such as Windows 10 or 8.1, for development and basic testing. However, they are not supported for use in a production environment.

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).

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:
