Get a license
A production license is obtained in one of two ways:
- As a license string:
- You can get a free Lite license string by signing into the ArcGIS Developer site with your ArcGIS Developer account or ArcGIS Online account.
- You can get a Basic, Standard, or Advanced license string by purchasing one or more ArcGIS Runtime deployment packs.
- From a user account through user authentication:
- Your app's user must be assigned a Runtime license by their ArcGIS organization's administrator. Your app's user must also sign in to your app using their ArcGIS account.

Runtime license levels for ArcGIS accounts
Administrators of ArcGIS organizations can assign ArcGIS Runtime licenses to ArcGIS accounts. This process has evolved over time. In ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 or newer, licenses are assigned through user types. In older versions of ArcGIS Enterprise, licenses are assigned using named user levels.
ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 and newer
When your application users sign in to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 and newer, ArcGIS Runtime licenses are assigned based on named user types.

| Named user type | Runtime license level |
|---|---|
| Viewer | Lite |
| Editor, Mobile Worker | Basic |
| Creator, GIS Professional Basic | Standard |
| GIS Professional Standard, GIS Professional Advanced | Advanced |
To obtain a Runtime production license using one of these named user types, use:
