Licensing of GISDK Add-Ins and Applications

GISDK enables you to create add-ins and custom applications, and access Maptitude from .NET or as a COM Object. GISDK also makes it possible for third parties to create and distribute add-ins and custom applications. We expect that many GISDK users will fall into one of three classes:

• Individual users who want to automate or simplify tasks they routinely perform with Maptitude
• Internal systems staff who develop add-ins and applications to be used by others within their organization
• Developers, resellers, and consultants who use Maptitude along with GISDK to provide custom end-user solutions

Caliper Corporation offers additional technology for the creation and distribution of run-time versions of custom applications. This technology enables us to create for you a complete stand-alone program (one that does not need the Maptitude program files) that incorporates all the required GIS functionality for your application. Run-time licensing involves the payment of a processing fee plus technology license fees that are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

When you develop an add-in or custom application using GISDK, the product is a user interface database (UI Database) containing the add-in or custom application. Provided that you comply with the Maptitude license agreement, you may distribute, sell, or give away completed UI Databases containing your add-ins or custom applications. You may also distribute, sell, or give away Caliper Script source code that you create for your GISDK programs.

At the same time, the Maptitude license agreement imposes certain restrictions upon you. For example, you are not permitted to copy or distribute:

• The Maptitude program file (mapt.exe)
• The supporting dynamic link libraries (DLLs)
• Geographic and tabular data files that are provided with Caliper GIS products
• Any files that are part of the Maptitude product package

The license agreement for Maptitude for the Web gives you rights to create, test, and publish web mapping applications that access Maptitude from .NET or as a COM Object. It does not give you the right to sell or rent access to a Maptitude for the Web application. Other licensing arrangements (such as runtime licenses) are available for other forms of access to Maptitude from .NET or as a COM Object.

If you have any questions about the above licensing information, please discuss them with us.
