Use Your Microsoft Bing Maps License with MapInfo Professional
MapInfo Professional now lets you use your own Microsoft Bing Maps license.
Purchasing a new MapInfo Professional license or upgrading an existing license provides access to
Microsoft Bing Maps, a web mapping service, for Bing Aerial and Bing Hybrid maps. These maps are
used by the Add Bing Roads to Map and the Move Map to features in MapInfo Professional. Access
to these maps is for a limited time (see the MapInfo Professional Install Guide for expiration dates). To
continue access after the expiration date, you must keep your MapInfo Professional license on
maintenance. This ensures that you can upgrade to the latest version of MapInfo Professional and
continue to use the Add Bing Roads to Map and the Move Map to features.
If you already have a license for Bing Maps that you purchased from Microsoft, then you can use your
license with MapInfo Professional.
To enter your license information in MapInfo Professional:
1. On the Help menu, point to Licensing and click Bing Key to open the Bing Key Credential dialog
box.
2. Type your license value in the Enter valid key field and click OK.
For more details, see Bing Licensing .

in MapInfo Professional causing a performance issue. Switching to the 1-bit per pixel cursor corrects
this issue.
