Hi all

We have a few programmers that build an application that include limited map form.

One developer that has Engine design license builds a user control that includes a MapControl and exposes a few methods. This user control is compiled as dll.

The other programmers have Engine RunTime license only. They would like to reference this user control dll and call it from there code.

Do all of them need the developer license or just the RT license for running the application?

Thanks

Mody

I believe the way it works is that you need a developer license anytime you want to touch the code or access the components outside of a production app. If your developers open the map control within their projects they should probably see a warning on the control that it isn't licensed.

We have a similar case, a single dll w/ a form that hosts several engine controls.  The dev with the engine dev license can setup the form in the Visual Studio dialog editor, other dev's can't.  However, all dev's can compile the dll, even if they don't have an engine dev license.
