| Purchase Transactions - Virtual Earth Map Control |
| |
| In purchasing license access to the Virtual Earth Map Control,
two considerations must be addressed: |
|
|
|
|
| What Type of Users? |
|
| There are two types of users for your application that drives the first part of
the license model; Anonymous Users or Known Users. |
|
| Anonymous Users - Internet users that hit your application without
being provisioned and/or authenticated by the application. Simply, you do not
know who they are. For example, your store locator brings in numerous unknown
users, customers/prospects who lookup a store location by address and get
driving directions. |
|
| Known Users - Your application has been built for employees,
partners or others, that you know. You have assigned them a username for access
to the application or the application is closed for their use only. If you are
using this model, you will be asked to certify the number of Known Users at the
time of ordering. |
|
|
| What Is The Annual Usage? |
|
Your application will place calls to the Microsoft Virtual Earth Map Control service
for finding addresses, maps, routes, driving directions and images. The Virtual Earth service counts these calls
from your application as Usage Transactions. A usage transaction takes place every time a user
clicks within your application and calls the Virtual Earth Map Control service for a response. The image response
to the call is provided in 9 panes. While the display of the first pane is one transaction, movement to an adjacent
pane is only a fraction of a transaction. The Virtual Earth Map Control uses caching, so movement back and forth to
the first pane is a 0 transaction.
