Microsoft.MapPoint.LocationServer.Management.dll—Contains classes that provide methods for managing MapPoint Location Server.

Microsoft.MapPoint.LocationServer.Core.dll—Contains classes that are required by the management API types. This assembly should be used only to add as a reference to your project; do not use types from this assembly directly in your source code.

To use these assemblies, add them to your local global assembly cache or copy them to your local application Bin folder.
