MapXtreme Licensing
MapXtreme v7.1 32 Developer Guide
• For desktop runtime deployments built using the SCP version of MapXtreme, a license (e.g.,
MapXtremeDesktopIntl.lic, for example) is required for every installation.
• For web runtime deployments built using the NCP or SCP version of MapXtreme, a license (e.g.,
MapXtremeWeb.lic) is required for every installation.
See Runtime Licenses for Deployment for information on packaging licenses in your distribution.
Trial License
The trial license (MapXtremeTrial.lic) is provided in the SDK and the Evaluation version of
MapXtreme. It expires 60 days from the date of installation. Applications that are developed using
the trial license display a watermark on the map that also indicates the number of days remaining for
the trial license.
Obtaining a License
SDK Licenses for Development
Users of the non-copy protected Software Development Kit (NCP SDK) automatically receive a
perpetual SDK license (MapXtremeSDK.lic), as well as a trial license when they install. With the
perpetual license you can continue to use the SDK as long as you want. No other SDK license is
necessary.
Users of the copy-protected SDK (SCP SDK) receive a trial license only. To use the SDK
permanently, you must obtain a perpetual SDK license from Pitney Bowes Software. To do this, run
MILicenseNodeID.exe (found under Program Files\Common files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x\License
Tool) to generate a unique machine-specific hardware ID contained in a text file called
MILicenseNodeID.txt. Pitney Bowes Software uses this information to generate a custom license for
your particular installation. For complete details on obtaining a license, see the Software Copy
Protection Notice in the product box or installed under Program Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x\
Documentation\PDF\SoftwareCopyProtectionNotice_SCP.pdf. Contact Pitney Bowes Software (or
its representative) at the appropriate email or fax number for your region as provided on the notice.
When you receive your permanent license, copy it to the Program Files\Common Files\
MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x folder prior to first use of the deployed application.
Evaluation users will be required to purchase the product before receiving a permanent license.
Runtime Licenses for Deployment
MapXtreme requires that you include a runtime license in every deployment. To do so, you must
either provide the license in your package or include a licensing tool for your customers to obtain the
license themselves. Runtime licenses are obtained from Pitney Bowes Software. This license type
also removes all watermarks from the map.
The type of runtime license you need depends on what type of application you are building and the
version of MapXtreme you use. Find your situation in the table below:
