Download and Run the Installer (Three-Server Redundant Floating License Server)

The FME installer contains the utility program that is needed to get the license server up and running:

fme-flexnet-win-x86.msi

or

fme-flexnet-win-x64.msi

To download and run

  1. On the FME Downloads page, specify the desired version under "Select an FME Version."
  2. Under "Floating License Installer for FME Form," click Download.
    Note  If you are viewing this link in a PDF file, your Acrobat security settings may prevent access to the installer. Instead, paste https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/ into a web browser.
  3. On each computer that acts as a license server, run (double-click) the installer to create a FlexServer directory.
  4. Send an e-mail to codes@safe.com and include the FlexNet Host ID, the hostname assigned to each of the computers, and serial number. To get your serial number, see the confirmation e-mail you received after purchasing FME Form.
