Licensing for geoprocessing tools

Summary
A toolbox can contain toolsets and tools and is organized according to the collection of geoprocessing commands it contains. A tool is a single geoprocessing command.

About licensing for geoprocessing tools

The core toolboxes contain a mixture of tools available with specific license levels (shown in the following tables). In the tables, the letter x represents the available tool for that license level.
The Coverage toolbox is only available with an ArcInfo license. All tools provided with extensions are available at any license level.
