Why do the ESRI Map Keys no longer work?

On February 26, 2025, ESRI changed their endpoints for ESRI Streets, ESRI Light, and ESRI Dark maps.

When using BricsCAD V24.2.X and V25.1.X, you will encounter a "Server service is unavailable or Invalid ESRI Maps Key" error when attempting to use these maps.

To resolve this for the mentioned BricsCAD versions, you need to manually update the endpoints in the Online Maps Services section of the Settings dialog box.

The new endpoints should be set as follows:

• Static Streets Metadata: https://static-map-tiles-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/static-basemap-tiles-service/v1/arcgis/streets/static
• Static Streets Tile: https://static-map-tiles-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/static-basemap-tiles-service/v1/arcgis/streets/static/tile/{level}/{row}/{column}
• Static Light gray Metadata: https://static-map-tiles-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/static-basemap-tiles-service/v1/arcgis/light-gray/static
• Static Light gray Tile: https://static-map-tiles-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/static-basemap-tiles-service/v1/arcgis/light-gray/static/tile/{level}/{row}/{column}
• Static Dark gray Metadata: https://static-map-tiles-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/static-basemap-tiles-service/v1/arcgis/dark-gray/static
• Static Dark gray Tile: https://static-map-tiles-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/static-basemap-tiles-service/v1/arcgis/dark-gray/static/tile/{level}/{row}/{column}
