Tens of thousands of loyal ILWIS users
have purchased an ILWIS 3.3 Academic license in the past, or received one as an ITC alumnus.
ILWIS 3.3 Academic in fact had a number of components that were obtained under license
agreements between the ITC and certain commercial GIS vendors. Those components
needed to be taken out when ILWIS became open source. However, ILWIS 3.3
Academic is still
available, and if you have a compatibility problem with a file from another GIS
you may try to open or export it with ILWIS 3.3.
From here you can download ILWIS 3.3 Academic
and install
it additionally in a different directory. This is a bit more complicated so
follow the instructions:
|
When the file has been downloaded,
create a directory "ilwis3.3" as a subdirectory on your C drive in
C:\program files\ilwis3.3, or if you have a separate partition you can
make a new directory "ilwis3.3" in your separate partition and place
your zipfile in that new directory (example:
D:\ilwisfree).
|
|
Extract all your data from the
zipfile into the new directory
|
|
Look for a file "ilwis30.exe".
Right click on that file and choose "Create a Shortcut". You will now
find a new file "Shortcut to ilwis30.exe".
|
|
Right click again and choose
rename. Rename this file "ILWIS 3.3". This is your shortcut file for
your Start Menu. If you press it, it will start ILWIS 3.3.
|
|
You need this file as a button in
your Start Menu. Just press in lightly and drag it into your startbutton to
the place where you want it and let it go. If you click on it, your free
open source GIS / remote sensing ILWIS 3.3 will start right
away.
|
Important: Ilwis 3.3 only
works permanently with the license code patch, which must be downloaded here:
From our statistics, we can see that
many users forget to download this patch. So, after downloading ILWIS 3.3,
please don't forget to download the patch.
After you have installed your ILWIS
3.3, Place the patch (patch331.exe) in your ilwis3.3 directory and click on it
to install the patch. You can use your ILWIS3.3
simultaneously with your ILWIS3.7.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?
You will be inclined to send us an
email, but DON'T. We are very busy and don't respond often to support open
source GIS ILWIS
questions. The forum is where ILWIS users help each other and your chances are
much better to get a response from the Forum:.
We highly recommend that you also subscribe to
the ILWIS support group at https://52north.org/mailman/listinfo/ilwis.
It hosts answers to many questions and enrolls you to ILWIS question-and-answer
emails.
So what is the email on the bottom-left
for? For questions and comments related to the website design, if you would want us to organize a custom made
training course or if you want to volunteer on translating parts of the help
file.
