Install FME on Client Computers

When the server license files are running, install FME on the client computers or on the Network Server (if you have a fast and uncongested network). If this is not a new install (but rather a license upgrade from fixed license to floating), ensure that there are no existing fme_license.dat or fme_license.fmelic files in the C:\Program Files\FME\licenses directory.

Using a text editor, create a file called fme_license.dat that contains the same three SERVER lines from the safe.lic files that were used to start the redundant server nodes. Add a USE_SERVER line after the SERVER lines, as shown in the following example:

SERVER host1 1223344 27009

SERVER host2 9384749 27009

SERVER host3 2038404 27009

USE_SERVER

Place this fme_license.dat file in the FME client installation licenses directory; that is, in the C:\Program Files\FME\licenses directory.
