I am licensed for only one engine but a second engine is created automatically when I use FMEJobSubmitter. Is this normal? Does this count as using two licenses? If I run this job on a server that already has two engines will both licenses be in use? Thanks

Hi @joel.clark,

Please see this article for more information. If you have the following parameter set up:

Wait for Jobs to Complete: Yes

Submit Jobs: In Sequence

Then this is the expected behaviour because the child process is run as a sub process of the parent workspace (your job 254) on a single engine but they will display as there own job (334) in the Job History. This does not count as using a second license and the behaviour would remain the same no matter what the engine count is. If you would like the FMEServerJobSubmitter to use multiple engines then this article may of use to you: https://knowledge.safe.com/content/kbentry/55594/workflow-management-example-multiple-engines.html
