Licensed software deployment

Licensing

The Web Mapping Application uses services from one or more GIS servers, which can include ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS and ArcWeb Services. The Web and GIS servers must have appropriate licensing for the ESRI software used. The Application Developer Framework (ADF) installed on the Web server must be licensed in connection with ESRI server software, whether you install the full server software package or just the ADF Runtime. Installations of the Web ADF and server software for development also requires a license. The ESRI Developer Network (EDN) offers licenses of ESRI software specifically for development. See About the EDN Subscription Program for more information on EDN for development purposes.

Below is a brief summary of licensing for ESRI server software. For details, consult the Help for the respective software, or contact your local ESRI account representative.

• ArcGIS Server
  • All components of ArcGIS Server must be licensed. The post-installation for ArcGIS Server will prompt to authorize the computer on which you are installing the software. The licensed components of ArcGIS Server include the ADF, Server Object Manger (SOM), Server Object Container (SOC) and the Spatial Database Engine (SDE).
  • ArcGIS Server offers a scalable line of server product editions built on a common set of technology components that are distinguished by both functionality and capacity.  The functionality in ArcGIS Server is provided via three different editions:  Basic, Standard, and Advanced.  Each of these three functional editions is provided at two separate levels, scaled according to capacity.  The two levels are Workgroup and Enterprise.  To view a functionality matrix describing which features are available at each edition and level, please see the ArcGIS Server literature page on the ESRI Web site.
• ArcIMS
  • ArcIMS requires a license for Spatial Server. The post-installation for ArcIMS will prompt to authorize the computer on which you are installing the software.
• ArcWeb Services
  • ArcWeb Services does not require any local software to be installed. Your web application only needs to provide required credentials for the ArcWeb Services account used in the application.

Deployment steps

• Prepare web application during creation and development
• Install required software, data and services on production servers
• Deploy (copy) the website to the production Web server
• Enable the website folder as a Web application in IIS
• Update settings for servers, services and identity
