That's only half correct. It's true that you can't legally use a free API key for an intranet application.
However, it's not true that a free API key simply won't work on an intranet server. You *can* legally use a free API key on an intranet server used for development and testing of an app that will be deployed on a public server after testing. See section 9.1 of the Terms of Service<http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html>(emphasis added): 9.1 Free, Public Accessibility to Your Maps API Implementation. Your Maps API Implementation must be generally accessible to users without charge. You may require users to log in to your Maps API Implementation if you do not require users to pay a fee. Unless you have entered into a separate written agreement with Google or obtained Google's written permission, your Maps API Implementation must not: (a) require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access; or (b) operate only behind a firewall or only on an internal network (*except during the development and testing phase*). So the bottom line is that iDDQD is not legally allowed to deploy an intranet app using a free API key, however that is not the reason the key is failing unless Google has blocked the key or account. -Mike On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 12:58 AM, ProbablyMike <[email protected]>wrote: > > > On Apr 30, 8:23 am, iDDQD <[email protected]> wrote: > Plz help me deploy this page on Intranet web > > site. > > > > You cannot deploy a map made with the FREE API to an intranet server > and so the key won't work.
