Installing a License File Provided by Safe Software
Follow the steps below if you have a problem with the automated license generator. If this happens, you will need to install a license file (*.fmelic) provided by Safe Software.
For Linux users, you must log in as the same user who installed FME Desktop.
- Go to the FME Desktop License Activation web page (http://www.safe.com/activation/).
- Provide the following:
- Serial number – To get your serial number, see the confirmation e-mail you received after purchasing FME Desktop.
- Registration key – This is the 10-digit number located at the bottom left corner of the install pane of the FME Desktop Licensing Assistant. Click the number to copy it.
- Click Retrieve License File and download the file.
- Open the FME Desktop Licensing Assistant (fmelicensingassistant.exe)
- On Windows, the Licensing Assistant is in the Start menu under FME Desktop, or fmelicensingassistant.exe in the root folder of the FME Desktop install directory.
- On Linux, the Licensing Assistant is in the Applications menu, or in the root folder of the FME Desktop install directory.
- On Mac, the Licensing Assistant is in /Library/FME/<version>/Apps/FME Licensing Assistant.
- On the Activate FME Desktop License dialog, expand Manual licensing.
- Provide the license file, either as a path, or by copying and pasting the contents of the file directly in the field provided.
- Click Activate.
- On the License Summary page, click Finish.
If the previous steps are unsuccessful, you can also send an e-mail message to codes@safe.com with your serial number and registration key. You will receive an e-mail message from Safe Software with an attached .fmelic license file.
FME Desktop is successfully licensed.
Licenses are tied to physical properties of systems. If you change your system's hardware configuration, your FME license may not work and you will need to request a new one.
