Before You Begin
Ensure that the following requirements are met before beginning the installation:
- Ensure that you are running a TCP/IP network.
- Designate one computer on the network as the license server. The license server can be any computer on the network that is visible to all computers that are dependent on it for their FME licenses. Select a computer that is always running and always connected to the network, so that client computers can always communicate with the license server to get licenses for FME. The processing load on the licensing server is negligible.
- On Windows, ensure that you have administrator privileges to install the FME floating license server.
- If the computer you want to use as your floating license server has a firewall, open a range of ports through which the FlexServer can communicate. By default, the range of ports used is 27000-27009, although you can also configure other ports.
- If FLEXlm is already installed on your license server, you still need to perform a new installation. FME 2011 requires the version of FLEXlm that is included in the installer. In addition, if your organization is configuring license borrowing, use LMTOOLS version 11.8 or newer.
Note: The FME license server cannot be installed on a virtual computer that might be moved around to different physical computers. It must be locked to a single fixed MAC address.
