The MapInfo Pro installer adds a shortcut (Icon) to the Windows Start Menu to start
MapInfo Pro in Viewer (subscription) mode. This icon is located next to the regular
MapInfo Pro Start Menu shortcut.
The same MapInfoPro.exe is used for both the normal licensed version of MapInfo Pro, the
trial version and the Viewer (subscription) version. There are three ways to choose
which mode to run MapInfo Pro in.
- Command line
- to start Pro in Viewer mode: MapInfoPro.exe /Subscription=On
- to start Pro in Viewer mode with a specific plan: MapInfoPro.exe /Subscription=plannid
- to start Pro in full licensed mode: MapInfoPro.exe /Subscription=Off
- MapInfoPro.exe.config
- Add key under appSettings section
- <add key="Subscription" value="Off"/> to start Pro in full licensed mode
- <add key="Subscription" value="On"/> to start Pro in Viewer mode
- <add key="Subscription" value="MIPRO_Viewer"/> to start Pro in Viewer mode with a specific plan named 'planid'
How do I switch from Viewer to the fully licensed version of Pro
Start MapInfo Pro from the shortcut on the start menu. When prompted enter your license key to activate MapInfo Pro.
