**Q:&nbsp;Why&nbsp;is&nbsp;there&nbsp;an&nbsp;"Unlicensed&nbsp;for&nbsp;Runtime"&nbsp;watermark&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;map&nbsp;after&nbsp;deploying&nbsp;my&nbsp;Silverlight&nbsp;application&nbsp;to&nbsp;IIS?**

A:&nbsp;You&nbsp;are&nbsp;seeing&nbsp;this&nbsp;message&nbsp;because&nbsp;the&nbsp;Production&nbsp;Web&nbsp;Server&nbsp;license&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;installed&nbsp;on&nbsp;your&nbsp;server.&nbsp;There&nbsp;are&nbsp;two&nbsp;kinds&nbsp;of&nbsp;licenses&nbsp;for&nbsp;Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Silverlight&nbsp;Edition:

  
1. The&nbsp;Development&nbsp;License&nbsp;is&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;development&nbsp;environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;allows&nbsp;you&nbsp;to&nbsp;develop&nbsp;your&nbsp;application&nbsp;within&nbsp;Visual&nbsp;Studio.
  
2. The&nbsp;Production&nbsp;Web&nbsp;Server&nbsp;License&nbsp;is&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;production&nbsp;environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;removes&nbsp;the&nbsp;"Unlicensed"&nbsp;watermark&nbsp;in&nbsp;runtime.
  

  
  

To&nbsp;install&nbsp;the&nbsp;Production&nbsp;Web&nbsp;Server&nbsp;License,&nbsp;you&nbsp;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;run&nbsp;the&nbsp;Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Silverlight&nbsp;Edition&nbsp;Server&nbsp;Preparation&nbsp;Tool&nbsp;that&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;found&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;My&nbsp;Downloads&nbsp;section&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;[Customer&nbsp;Portal](http://helpdesk.thinkgeo.com).&nbsp;&nbsp;Easy-to-follow&nbsp;installation&nbsp;instructions&nbsp;are&nbsp;included&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;tool.

If&nbsp;you&nbsp;have&nbsp;any&nbsp;additional&nbsp;questions&nbsp;about&nbsp;the&nbsp;Production&nbsp;Web&nbsp;Server&nbsp;License&nbsp;or&nbsp;the&nbsp;Server&nbsp;Preparation&nbsp;Tool,&nbsp;feel&nbsp;free&nbsp;to&nbsp;post&nbsp;them&nbsp;below.&nbsp;&nbsp;If&nbsp;you&nbsp;need&nbsp;help&nbsp;setting&nbsp;up&nbsp;server&nbsp;licensing&nbsp;in&nbsp;your&nbsp;specific&nbsp;environment,&nbsp;please&nbsp;open&nbsp;a&nbsp;support&nbsp;ticket&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;[Customer&nbsp;Portal](http://helpdesk.thinkgeo.com)&nbsp;and&nbsp;our&nbsp;professional&nbsp;support&nbsp;staff&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;happy&nbsp;to&nbsp;assist&nbsp;you.
