To continue accessing Bing Maps, you must upgrade to the latest version of MapInfo Professional. By
doing so, you also benefit from the latest improvements to MapInfo Professional. If your organization
has a valid maintenance contract, but cannot upgrade before the Bing Maps license period ends, then
you must:
1. keep your MapInfo Professional licenses on maintenance (and if applicable, renew your Premium
Service license), and
2. contact your Pitney Bowes Software representative or Reseller and have them extend your Bing
Maps license.
Customers with a current maintenance package who would like to continue to use earlier version of
MapInfo Professional (10.5.3, 11.0.x, 11.5.x, and 12.0.x), are entitled to use Bing services until January
1st 2016. For details, contact your account representative.
