Landmark introduces new Licence Management Service to all digital mapping products

Landmark Information Group has introduced a new Licence Management functionality to its Promap digital mapping platform. The service makes it easier to renew export data licences in accordance with Ordnance Survey regulations, as well as viewing and managing licences online.

The new Licence Management tool is designed to support clients in ensuring all export data purchased from Landmark’s Promap service fully complies with Ordnance Survey terms and conditions, avoiding any penalties for expired or incorrect licences.

Carole Ankers, Product Development Director at Landmark Information Group said: “The introduction of Licence Management is one of our latest product enhancements and is designed to support our customers in keeping all data in licence. It makes it easy to renew digital data export licences and centrally manage them in one single place. It also helps keep users notified of when a licence is about to expire so a renewal can be organised.”

Nick Macready, Strategic Partner Manager from Ordnance Survey: “We encourage the use and exploitation of mapping and data by providing a wide range of licences that focus on how customers wish to use our information and the rights we grant for those uses. We have a series of licences, which underpin the rights being granted for use of Ordnance Survey products. By implementing the new Licence Management tool in Promap, Landmark ensures its customers can benefit from the most current version and also fully comply with the correct licence for the mapping and data that each customer accesses via the service, and we applaud them for supporting our drive to clampdown on un-licenced data.”
