Dear Esri staff,

I have a question related to ArcGIS Pro Addin licensing for end-users. Can you please share with me the email address to contact person who is dealing with such matters?

Thank you,

Hi Adam, feel free to post your question here in this thread, or you can send me an email at czent@esri.com

Just fyi on building a general licensing mechanism for add-ins. We have a ProGuide which walks through one potential approach to setup basic add-in licensing located here, as well as the associated sample.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for the answer.

Just to leave a reference and hints to others. Before developing add-in, it is better to read Master Agreement first. Especially, Article B.1—General Use Restrictions.

BR,

Adam

EDIT: To be completely transparent: developers are not allowed to incorporate features/services that might compete with Esri Offerings. In my case, it was geocoding and routing capabilities based on Open Route Service. If I was to publish it, the add-in would be open to all community and unfortunately, breach the Master Agreement.

Hope this is useful for other devs.
