Windows System Requirements

Supported Platforms

Note: Both 64- and 32-bit versions of the following Windows platforms are supported, except where specified.

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 7
  • Windows 2012 Server
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows 2008 Server SP2 or later

Note: All 64-bit Windows editions listed above also support 32-bit FME. See Which Version? for details on differences between 32-bit and 64-bit FME.

Minimum System Specifications

System specifications will vary depending on your FME usage, including the size of your data files. However, at minimum, we recommend:

  • Intel® Pentium® 4 processor
  • 4 GB of RAM (8 GB on a 64-bit OS)
  • 20 GB of available hard-disk space

Note: To install FME on a server for use with a thin-end client (for example, a Citrix® installation), you must use an FME floating license. To install floating licenses, you must be running a TCP/IP network.

Recommended System Specifications

Note: FME will operate well with the minimum recommended configuration; however, any application benefits from additional resources. For large processing tasks, additional memory and a fast disk can measurably improve processing time.

  • Intel® Core i7 CPU
  • 8 GB of RAM (16 GB on a 64-bit OS)
  • 50 GB of available hard-disk space
  • A Solid-State Drive (SSD)
