Introduction to ArcGIS Roads and Highways

ArcGIS Roads and Highways is an ArcGIS Server extension that provides the capability to publish LRS Networks and registered event layers as a map service.

As a map service, linear referenced data can be shared to an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment and published to your organizational account on ArcGIS Online.

Networks and events can be accessed by any client app that can consume an ArcGIS Server map service, including existing ArcGIS Desktop web and mobile clients. Additionally, web developers can use the ArcGIS Server Web APIs to develop web and connected mobile apps for their linear referenced data.

Roads and Highways enablement

The stand-alone Location Referencing installer is no longer required for 10.9 or later releases. However, you must authorize the software by entering a Location Referencing license key on each machine.

Note:

The Advanced Editing user type extension is not needed to license Location Referencing or publish and consume services enabled for linear referencing and version management.

You must have a full base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment and install compatible versions.

Software authorization

Obtain authorization through My Esri using email, fax, phone, or mail. Authorize Roads and Highways (enabled by a Location Referencing license) using your license key.

Once the ArcGIS Location Referencing license is used to authorize each instance of ArcGIS Server, the Roads and Highways features and services that are native to ArcGIS Enterprise are available to use.
