An introduction to licensing ArcGIS Runtime through your portal

This ArcGIS 11.1 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

ArcGIS Runtime licenses are required for users who want to deploy ArcGIS Runtime apps into production. There are four ArcGIS Runtime license levels: Lite, Basic, Standard, and Advanced. Each licensing level is associated with a set of capabilities.

ArcGIS Runtime levels can be licensed through user types or through a license key. You must assign a user type with the appropriate ArcGIS Runtime level to members of your organization based on the level of access they need. The following table lists which ArcGIS Runtime level is included with each user type:

ArcGIS Runtime license levelUser type
ArcGIS Runtime Lite

ArcGIS Runtime Basic

ArcGIS Runtime Advanced

The ArcGIS Runtime add-on Runtime Analysis extension is compatible with any user type that includes the ArcGIS Runtime Advanced or ArcGIS Runtime Standard level.
