Written by: Emily Hunt

 

Global Mapper® helps analyze the world around you; it is only fitting that it is accessible around the world as well. Blue Marble Geographics and our reseller partners offer our industry leading GIS software in most countries. Global Mapper and its robust collection of geospatial tools are available in 10 languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish. To learn more about a specific language version of Global Mapper, contact the exclusive reseller in the table below.











How To License Global Mapper in an Alternate Language

When you purchase a license of Global Mapper from the exclusive reseller, licensing information will be emailed to you. For Single User licenses (Node-Locked and Floating), the license key is the complete order number (000000-XXXXXXXX). Learn more about activating a single user license of Global Mapper here.

A language version of Global Mapper will activate the language of interest along with English. The language version needs to be activated first using your Blue Marble Geographics log-in and complete order number. Afterwards, if English is downloaded on the same computer it will be automatically registered.

In order to move a Global Mapper license to a new computer, the license needs to be released first. In either the language or English version, users can navigate to the Help menu, License Manager, and select Release. If connected to the internet, licenses should be automatically released from the machine. If the computer is offline, the removal code will need to be copied and sent to orders@bluemarblegeo.com. Be sure to release both Global Mapper and Global Mapper Pro if applicable. A more in-depth tutorial can be found here.

For any additional licensing questions or troubleshooting please contact your reseller or our technical support team at geohelp@bluemarblegeo.com. To have access to technical assistance, you will need active Maintenance and Support.
