Base Note about licensing requirements in FME 2011+
In FME 2011, we made a change to the licensing requirements for extending MapGuide 6.5 and MapGuide Enterprise. In the past, an FME Provider for MapGuide license would provide extending access to both MapGuide 6.5 and Enterprise. Safe Software has retired this edition of licensing, so the change beginning in FME 2011 requires a Enterprise Database Edition license (Esri or higher) to extend the two products. This means that existing customers with the FME Provider for MapGuide license cannot extend either product with FME 2011+. Please contact us for an Enterprise Database Edition license. |
