ArcGIS Online is Esri's software-as-a-service (SaaS) mapping and analysis solution. With a subscription to ArcGIS Online, you can extend and customize ArcGIS Online items and develop custom apps that showcase maps and spatial analysis. By using ArcGIS Online, software developers can jump-start their work by taking advantage of the web maps, analyses, and styles their mapping colleagues have created.

ArcGIS Configurable Apps and app builders are Esri tools to create and publish web apps quickly with no coding required. With all ArcGIS Developer subscription plans, you also have access to AppStudio for ArcGIS, which is a low-code platform for creating native apps.

The Esri Developer Summit is an event specifically designed to show you how to build cutting-edge apps using advanced mapping technology from Esri. You will be the first to see new tools for geoenabling your apps and get pro tips from the developers who made them.

Esri offers extensions to the base ArcGIS GIS Server included with ArcGIS Enterprise. These extensions broaden or deepen the capabilities of your server deployment. The advanced server capabilities included in the price of the Enterprise Plan are ArcGIS Notebook Server, ArcGIS Image Server, ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, and ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Server.

ArcGIS Runtime SDKs have four license levels: Lite, Basic, Standard, and Advanced.

  • No. Please contact your Esri account representative for more details on transitioning license keys from 10.2.x to 100.x.

No.

Yes, each ArcGIS Developer account can generate one unique Lite license key. This string can be shared across all Runtime apps associated with the ArcGIS Developer account from which it was created. Protect your license key—it is unique to your ArcGIS Developer account.

License keys for paid levels or extensions are purchased from Esri and distributed via deployment packs. Upon purchase of a deployment pack, you are provided with a unique license key for the level or extension purchased. Additional deployment packs for a level or extension you purchased previously will not include another license key. However, additional unique license keys can be provided upon request. Protect your license keys—they are unique to your organization.

Yes. You may choose to compile your app with a Lite license key to provide access to Lite functionality in your Runtime app or offer the ability to log in with an Editor, Mobile Worker, Creator, or GIS Professional user type.

The ArcGIS Runtime license level that is enabled for a user type is dependent on the user type. Viewer and Lite named user types include a Lite license. Editor, Mobile Worker, and Basic user types include a Basic license. Creator, GIS Professional Basic, and Standard user types include a Standard license. GIS Professional Standard, GIS Professional Advanced, and Advanced user types include an Advanced license. Some user types do not include an ArcGIS Runtime license.

Access to a utility network requires the ArcGIS Runtime Utility Network extension. The ArcGIS Runtime Utility  Network  extension can be enabled using a license key or a named user with the Utility Network user type extension. The Utility Network user type extension is a cross-product add-on license (ArcGIS Enterprise only) for any named user type. It enables access to utility network services from clients such as ArcGIS Pro, native apps built with ArcGIS Runtime, and web apps built with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript.

We'll cover most of it in this FAQ, but if you want to see the full details, check out our Terms of Use.

Esri's Product-Specific Terms of Use states that use of the ArcGIS Runtime in a service is not permitted. Exhibit 1, Addendum 1, Section 1 defines terms of use for specific software. A general reference to the ArcGIS Runtime SDKs in note 19 states: License may not be used to develop internet or server-based Value-Added Applications.

ArcGIS Runtime Local Server is a component that enhances functionality of the following desktop-focused ArcGIS Runtime SDKs: ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET (WPF), ArcGIS Maps SDK for Java, and ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt. It is available as a separate install to supplement functionality of Runtime SDKs supported on Windows and Linux desktops. It's powered by packages created in ArcMap, which can be hosted by Local Server as local map, feature, and geoprocessing services. Desktop-focused ArcGIS Runtime SDKs also provide a client API to access Local Server services.

It depends. Esri requires that you include Esri attribution when you use an ArcGIS Online basemap, Esri data services, or Esri API technology in your app. Go to this resource for more details on when to display Esri attribution.
