Map Suite 9.0 and 10.0 products offer both subscription and perpetual licensing options.

If developers are interested in purchasing mapping component licensing forever then our perpetual licensing is the best route. Yearly software assurance renewal ensure year-round support and the ability to upgrade to our latest versions when they are released.

Alternatively if a short project is all you need our components for then a subscription license is the best fit. Year long subscriptions are available for the majority of our core Map Suite products and specifically times subscriptions can be negotiated.

If you're using Map Suite 9.0 you will want to login to your ThinkGeo.com with your credential and access the community portal. Once there you'll find the Support tab. Within Support look for:

Alternatively users on Map Suite 9.0 can access Daily Builds via their Product Center.

If a user is on Map Suite 10.0 Daily Builds are exclusively accessed through NuGet.

Every sample ThinkGeo has to offer is available on https://github.com/ThinkGeo; just download and run, and that's it. Even if you are new to ThinkGeo, no installer needs to be downloaded or installed to run the sample, in fact you don't even need to stop your debugging. If you're browsing our website samples are located one each web page of the respective product you're interested in as well as on our ThinkGeo Wiki.

By splitting MapSuiteCore 9.0 assemblies by functionality, it is easy to import necessary assemblies to projects. Map Suite Products are hosted on NuGet servers instead of the Map Suite installer. Movement of the required assemblies to a specific package makes it easier to deploy.

9.0: unmanaged dependencies are in system32 folder.
10.0: unmanaged dependencies are in the specific package.

With this switch from system32 to the bin folder of the project, it becomes much easier to deploy your project on the target machine(s) as there is no need to install to the registry.
