An introduction to licensing apps built with ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps

Apps built with ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps must be licensed before they are deployed to production. Production licenses are named Native Maps SDK licenses. There are four Native Maps SDK license levels: Lite, Basic, Standard, and Advanced. Each license level is associated with a set of capabilities.

Production licenses can be obtained through user authentication or as a license string. You must assign members of your organization a user type that includes the Native Maps SDK license level that matches the requirements of the application they want to use. The following table lists which license level is included with each user type:

License level	User type
Natives Maps SDK Lite	Included in the Viewer user type
Native Maps SDK Basic	Included in the Contributor and Mobile Worker user types
Native Maps SDK Standard	Included in the Creator user type
Native Maps SDK Advanced	Included in the Professional and Professional Plus user types

The Native Maps SDK Analysis add-on license is compatible with any user type that includes the Native Maps SDK Standard or Native Maps SDK Advanced license level.
