ArcGIS Engine Developer Guide

TESTING WITH ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME
Software authorization for ArcGIS Runtime for testing
To complete the registration process, ArcGIS Engine Runtime must be authorized
with the .ecp file to unlock the underlying software components for runtime use.
As a developer, you did this yourself when you installed and set up the ArcGIS
Engine Developer Kit. Once you had installed the software, a Software Authorization
wizard opened and prompted you to navigate to the .ecp file issued when
you registered the product. Only after completing the software authorization
were you able to develop and run custom ArcGIS Engine applications.
The product can be authorized by:
• Using the Software Authorization Wizard at \bin to navigate
to the .ecp file.
• Registering the ArcGIS Engine Runtime online at http://service.esri.com gives
you the option to dynamically authorize the product over the Internet. In this
case, no .ecp file will be sent.
