License by API

Before you deploy your ArcGIS Maps SDK app into production, you are required to license it. Esri provides four ArcGIS Maps SDK license levels: Lite, Basic, Standard, and Advanced. The license levels required to use some parts of the API are determined by which members of the ArcGIS Maps SDK you are using, and in some cases the context you are using them for. The tables below clarify what license levels are needed.

There are tables below for Basic, Standard, and Advanced license levels. There are also tables listing items that need Analysis, StreetMap, and Advanced Editing extensions. If not listed in the tables below, then a Lite license is required.

Each table lists the parts of the API that require a license other than Lite and, in some cases, details about the kind of operation that requires that license level. If an item is listed without details, then any use of that item requires a license. Some items appear in more than one of these tables because a license level depends on the action being performed by the API.
