If you have a serial number for ArcGIS I can put that up too although its big. Might be better if the people you got it from post if to you. Is there areason you don't want them to know apart from having to go back to Taz?

not sure how to make an ISO file right off. am uploading a Nero image .NRG file. let me know if that works or not Don't see why your IT guys wouldn't send you the install discs for ArcGIS cos its an individual install for each licence in my experience.
