Licensing Spatial Analyst objects (ArcObjects .NET 10.4 SDK)

Licensing Spatial Analyst objects


Summary
This topic provides brief details on Spatial Analyst licensing requirements.

About licensing Spatial Analyst objects

Spatial Analyst objects are divided among the following three different object libraries:
  • GeoAnalyst
  • SpatialAnalyst
  • SpatialAnalystUI
Each of these libraries contains some, but not all, of the coclasses and interfaces used in the Spatial Analyst extension. The Spatial Analyst objects are divided in this manner because of different licensing schemes.
The conversion objects, such as RasterConversionOp and RasterConvertHelper in the GeoAnalyst library, are available with the ArcEngine core product. Methods for these objects can be executed without any extension license.
The remaining analysis objects in the GeoAnalyst library, such as RasterInterpolationOp, RasterReclassOp, RasterSurfaceOp, and so on, are available with 3D Analyst and Spatial Analyst licenses.
You can check out any of these licenses to execute the methods for these objects. Objects in SpatialAnalyst and SpatialAnalystUI libraries are available only with the Spatial Analyst license.
