Request and Install the License

Perform the following steps on the computer that acts as the license server:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, select FlexNet for Safe Software > View hostid.txt to open the hostid.txt file.
  2. Complete the online license request form:

    3. https://engage.safe.com/activation/floating/

    You will need a product serial number (for example, BEGP-F7MG-21YL). To get your serial number, see the confirmation e-mail you received after purchasing FME Form.

    If you do not have a product serial number, e-mail your hostid.txt file to codes@safe.com.

    If you are requesting a combined license and are entering multiple serial numbers, separate them with commas.

    If you do not have hostid.txt and are entering host information manually:

    • Hostname is the name of the computer hosting the floating license.
    • Host ID is the MAC address (or "Ethernet address") of the host computer (lowercase, with no colons or dashes).

    Your hostid.txt may contain multiple Host IDs; however, you can enter only one in the online request form.

  3. You will receive an email with instructions for installing the license:
    1. Save the safe.lic file to the FlexServer directory. For example: C:\Program Files\FlexServer\
    1. Restart the FME License Server:

      2. From the Windows Start menu, select FlexNet for Safe Software> Start - Restart FME License Server
