I have been able to develope and deploy a couple of extenstions to the desktop, and have a “Killer” app I would like to deploy as an Engine solution.

However, I am getting completely lost as to how to do it. I cannot find anything that goes beyond the sample walk through for “building” a map app, (which does not include the deployment).

Is there a cookbook walk through?

Andy…

Or at least I couldn’t find it and apparently neither could the tech at ESRI Canada who responded to my query. :)

In any case, when, if ever, you get and install 9.2 you should find the full text of the licence at “C:Program FilesArcGISDeveloperKituserestrictions.txt” after installation.

Oh, and the nature of the license change? Substantively the same (minor formatting changes ignored):

Old: “All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States.

You may freely redistribute and use this sample code, with or without modification.”

New: “All rights reserved … States and applicable international laws, treaties, and conventions.

You may freely … modification, provided you include the original copyright notice and use restrictions. “

Jame’s – great Blog…
another issue of licensing that i can’t understand.
is ArcIMS a subset of ArcGIS Server or is it still a different product? can I use developments built for AS in IMS (is IMS built with ArcObjects)?
thanks

It was fun and it stuck to it’s premise of letting you “put a map in your app” rather than letting the map bludgeon your app, and your PC, to death.

Maybe I’m just yerning for the days of MapObjects. ;)

It should be noted that folks that have ESRI Desktop installed on their desktop do not need the runtime, since the object libraries are already installed.

People selling servers should make their client APIs available with as few restrictions as possible, so that their servers get heavily used and integrated in people’s daily business. Same goes for people pushing particular file formats. LizardTech has figured this out. Others have not. (Hey, is the API for file-based geodatabase out yet? The $1M question is: “what will the licensing be on the open FGDB API be?”)
