You can obtain production and extension licenses in one of two ways:
- As a license string:
- You can get a free Runtime Lite license string by signing in here with your ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.
- You can get a Basic, Standard, Advanced or extension license string by purchasing one or more ArcGIS Runtime deployment packs.
- From an ArcGIS account through user authentication:
- Every user is assigned a specific user type, such as Viewer, Mobile Worker, or Professional, by their portal's administrator. Their user type provides access to specific production and extension licenses.
- Your app must request that the user signs in using their ArcGIS account to obtain these licenses.
