Abstract
 Managing Enterprise Esri Software Licenses--An ArcObjects Solution Track: Application Development Author(s): Nigel Tait The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, is a local government user of Esri software. In the United Kingdom, prices of ArcView software are about 75 percent higher than in the United States. The costs are one reason why we have developed an innovative ArcObjects application that manages our floating corporate licenses. At its simplest level, it allows us to fairly apportion maintenance costs to 120+ users of ArcView and its extensions. Other advantages mean we can manage all licenses on one server, yet still reserve licenses for particular groups or individuals. Reports let us monitor software usage and manage growth. Overall, the solution helps our organization get the maximum usage from Esri's powerful software while reducing the need for departments to purchase additional licenses in an uncoordinated way.
