FME Engine Only Upgrade

FME Engines are the component of FME Flow that perform the actual data translations and transformations. At times, you might want to upgrade only your FME Engines and not any other FME Flow components. For example, you might want to provide support for recently added formats or other newer functionality included in a new release, which requires only an upgrade of the FME Engines.

The procedures described in this section use the standard FME installer provided on the Safe Software web site, and can be performed with an official or beta release of the FME Engine installer.

FME Flow supports installing newer FME Engines if those engines share the same version year as the current installation of FME Flow. For example, on FME Flow 2023.0, the FME Engines may be upgraded to a future 2023.1.3, but may not be upgraded to a future 2024.0.

Upgrading FME Engines on Remote Engine Services

FME Flow supports installing newer FME Engines on Remote Engine Services if those engines share the same version year and major point (.#) version of the primary FME Flow installation. For example:

FME Flow Version FME Engine Version on Remote Engine Services Supported?
2023.0 2023.0 Yes
2023.0 2023.0.1 Yes
2023.0 2023.1.0 No
2023.1 2023.0 No
