Licences Page

FireMapper Licences are managed through the Portal, allowing you to create and revoke licences within your subscription. Each licence generates a QR-code that is used to activate FireMapper Enterprise on an iOS or Android device.

FireMapper supports four types of licence, however these are enabled in accordance with the features on your subscription type

  • Personnel Licence - for groups of personnel on an enduring basis

  • Appliance Licence - for use on devices that are fixed to individual appliances and vehicles

  • Aircraft Licence - for use on devices that are fixed to individual aircraft

  • Temporary Licence - for short term access to specific incidents/maps for contractors and 3rd parties.

Use a separate aircraft licence for each aircraft.

If FireMapper is going to be used on a device that is moved across multiple appliances, use a Personnel licence instead. appliance licences are only intended for devices that are fixed to an appliance.

The resource name, resource rego and resource type are assigned when the appliance licence is created and can not be changed within the app.

If you use a Personnel licence, the resource information is optional and can be changed inside the FireMapper app on the user profile screen if required.
