Obtaining the Bing Maps Key for Contour

Before you can configure the Bing Map Geocode provider, you must obtain the Bing Maps key.

Infor CRM SLX recommends the Enterprise license for production environments which must be purchased through Microsoft. Basic keys are limited by Bing to 125,000 total transactions per year, and therefore are only recommended for evaluation and testing environments
