Bin Maps Key

Question

Getting error while cretaing points.
Credentials are either invalid or unspecified.

I have checked my credentials with bing maps and I am authorised to use a staging server.
What should I look for?

I"d rather not get in trouble by suggesting anything licensing related (the only rules I know are the ones governing code :-). However I think you can call your ESRI Sales Rep and work something out. It might actually be cheaper through ESRI.

At the front of the bing maps portal it says:  
For information or inquires about pricing, licensing or volume licensing, contact: 
maplic@microsoft.com . 
   
Also if you go to the bing maps website and click licensing you can find the following:

😮 funny...the MS rep i spoke to yesterday about this directed me to ESRI since i was accessing Bing Maps via the ESRI Silverlight API Bing Library. that's why i posted here.

in any case, the second link you posted is the answer i was looking for. i wonder why the MS rep didn't just point me in that direction.

as always morten, you're the man.
