Innovators and developers
An innovator licence gives free access to Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) Geographic Information for product development. If a developer creates a product they want to sell, they must sign a value added reseller (VAR) agreement with LPS. They need to sign the agreement before they sell any products.
