MapXtreme v7.1 31 Developer Guide
Deployment (Runtime) Installations
The Deployment installation option installs the Location Runtime Environment which lays down the
MXTRuntimeNCP.exe (or MXTRuntimeSCP.exe for software-copy protected versions of
MapXtreme). For instructions on installing the Runtime installer see
Deploying With the Runtime
Installer .
Side-By-Side Installations and Use
You may have more than one version of MapXtreme installed on your system at the same time.
Each version of MapXtreme installs into its own directory.
You may also build a desktop and web application against an earlier version of MapXtreme and run
it against a later version.
You may run more than one ASP.NET application on the same computer if they are built with
different versions of MapXtreme. Create an application pool for each version of MapXtreme and
place the appropriate ASP.NET application in it. Restart IIS by issuing an iisreset from a command
prompt or recycle the application pool that the application is assigned. When an application runs in
its own process space, it will load the appropriate version of MapXtreme.
This does not affect desktop applications created with different versions on MapXtreme. Each
desktop application always runs in its own process space.
MapXtreme Licensing
All MapXtreme installations require a license (.lic) file. Some licenses are provided in the installation,
others must be obtained from Pitney Bowes Software Inc. The following topics describe the types of
licenses and how you can obtain one from Pitney Bowes Software.
Types of Licenses
Depending on your purpose and needs, three types of licenses are available for MapXtreme— SDK
(developer), runtime (deployment), and trial licenses.
SDK License
The SDK (Software Development Kit) license (MapXtremeSDK.lic) is for developers to create
desktop and web applications. Applications developed using this license will display a small
watermark in the upper-left corner of the map window.
Runtime License
Runtime, or deployment, licenses are required for all runtime desktop and web installations.
• For desktop runtime deployments built using the NCP version of MapXtreme, the license (e.g.,
MapXtremeDesktop.lic) can be used on multiple installations.
