Download and Run the Installer (Three-Server Redundant Floating License Server)
The FME installer contains the utility program that is needed to get the license server up and running:
fme-flexnet-win-x86.msi
or
fme-flexnet-win-x64.msi
To download and run
- On the FME Downloads page, specify the desired version under "Select an FME Version."
- Under "Floating License Installer for FME Form," click Download.Note If you are viewing this link in a PDF file, your Acrobat security settings may prevent access to the installer. Instead, paste https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/ into a web browser.
- On each computer that acts as a license server, run (double-click) the installer to create a FlexServer directory.
- Send an e-mail to codes@safe.com and include the FlexNet Host ID, the hostname assigned to each of the computers, and serial number. To get your serial number, see the confirmation e-mail you received after purchasing FME Form.
- We will e-mail you a file called safe.lic that contains the key code file for the license code servers. Copy the safe.lic file into each of the FlexServer directories on your license server nodes.
