Licensing details by class

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 C++ classes or QML types you are using, and in some cases what you are using them for. The tables below clarify what license levels are needed.

"Public feature services" means services hosted on the Internet and available anonymously (not secured). "Private feature services" includes all other scenarios such as feature services hosted on a local network, within an enterprise, or feature services hosted on the Internet but are secured (requiring authentication for access).

There are tables below for Basic, Standard, and Advanced license levels. There are also tables listing items that need Analysis, StreetMap, and Utility Network extensions. If not listed in the tables below, it is likely that using that class or method requires only a Lite license.

Each table lists the class, the class members that require an elevated license (one other than Lite) and, in some cases, details about the type of operation that requires that license level. If a class member is listed without details, then any use of that class member requires a license. Some class members appear in more than one of these tables when those members need a license level that depends on the work they are performing.

For more licensing details, see Licensing Your ArcGIS Maps SDK App.
