The second type of end user purchases, authorizes, or both the ArcGIS Engine
Runtime software themselves. You and your client would go through the following
process to install and run an application that you built:
1. You review and confirm licensing required by your application.
2. Your client purchases ArcGIS Engine Runtime and any needed extensions
(3D, Geodatabase, Spatial, Network, and so on), as determined in the previous
step.
3. Your client registers the ArcGIS Engine product, and extensions if necessary,
with ESRI (http://www.service.esri.com).
4. Your client receives an authorization file (.ecp) from ESRI and saves it to
their computer.
5. Your client installs the ArcGIS Engine
Runtime software.

• On Windows, your client navigates to
the \ArcGIS\bin folder and runs the
SoftwareAuthorization.exe file it contains.
