When you are installing ArcGIS StreetMap Premium, you’ll see that there are two different ways to license.\u00a0 \u00a0You will use either a SDLIC file or a StreetMap Premium extension depending on which components you use.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you are using the file geodatabase for mapping layers or for the network, you need to use the SDLIC file.\u00a0 This is true for both ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise.<\/li>\n
  2. If you are using the locators, you need to use the StreetMap Premium extension for either ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Enterprise.<\/li>\n
  3. If you are using the StreetMap Premium mobile map packages in ArcGIS Pro, you need to use the StreetMap Premium extension for Pro.<\/li>\n
  4. Likewise, if you are using the StreetMap Premium mobile map packages in ArcGIS Runtime, you need the the StreetMap Premium extension for Runtime.<\/li>\n
  5. If you are using Custom Roads, you need the StreetMap Premium extension to build and use the network.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I encourage you to take a look at the following place in the StreetMap Premium documention:\u00a0 StreetMap Premium licensing requirements<\/a>.\u00a0 The page provides an overview and flow charts to help you determine when to use the SDLIC file or the StreetMap Premium extension.<\/p>\n
