One of our customers identified that this is possible using FMEObjects and Python:
import fmeobjects
lm = fmeobjects.FMELicenseManager()
print lm.getLicenseProperty('MACHINE CODE')One of our customers identified that this is possible using FMEObjects and Python:
import fmeobjects
lm = fmeobjects.FMELicenseManager()
print lm.getLicenseProperty('MACHINE CODE')This seems to work on FME Desktop with a fixed license. If using a floating license or on FME Server then "MACHINE CODE" is not defined.
Any suggestions on how to do this when using a floating license and/or on Server?

Hi @neilhellas , for FME Server you can use the authenticated REST API endpoint:
/fmerest/v3/licensing/machinekeyI'll share your question regarding the floating license with my colleagues and hopefully we can find an answer for you!

For FME Desktop, you can use the following command—which could be used with the SystemCaller transformer—to retrieve the value:
<path_to>/fme.exe MACHINE_KEYThis command simply returns the machine key (e.g. 1-234-567-890).
