shrug-l: Bing Maps Use in ArcGIS Has Changed

[Tripp Corbin]

If you did not see this from Esri -

 

If you are using Bing Maps, please read the following changes that will
affect your use of Bing Maps.

Complimentary use of Microsoft's Bing Maps with ArcGIS will begin to be
phased out as of February 28, 2013, and will be phased out completely by
September 30, 2013. ArcGIS will continue to be Bing Maps ready, but you will
have to obtain your own Bing Maps key directly from Microsoft and input the
key into your ArcGIS products. Once you input the new key, you will be able
to use Bing Maps in your ArcGIS products.

How This Will Affect Use of Bing Maps with ArcGIS
Once you obtain a key from Microsoft, you will be able to use Bing Maps in
your web and mobile applications, including ArcGIS for Server, ArcGIS Web
APIs, and all ArcGIS Mobile SDKs.

ArcGIS for Desktop will be affected in different ways depending on the
version you have:

*	ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop users will have to install ArcGIS 10.1.2
before being able to input a Bing Maps key. ArcGIS 10.1.2 is currently
scheduled to be available in late Q1 2013.
*	ArcGIS 10 for Desktop users will have to install a patch to use
their Bing Maps key. The patch will be available in late Q1 2013.
*	ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.1 will no longer support the use of Bing Maps.

 

ArcGIS Online will be Bing Maps ready at the next release, scheduled for the
end of Q1 2013. At that time, customers who have an ArcGIS Online
subscription will be able to input a Bing Maps key and continue to add Bing
Maps to their web maps. However, customers who have an ArcGIS Online
personal account will no longer be able to use Bing Maps after March 31,
2013. For both subscribers and personal account holders, web maps that
already include Bing Maps will continue to function.
