The company I work for has a floating license server, there are a few of us that have our own licenses. We want to use our own licenses so that others can use the floating ones. How do we stop FME automatically using one of our floating licenses? The only way we've found we can use our own licenses is when all the floating ones are being used.

Hi @emilywilson394,

You'll need to remove the .dat files which will remove the local license file that was created when you first connected to the floating license https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/39774/why-is-the-licensing-assistant-picking-up-my-float.html

Then double check the licensing assistant has your fixed license.

And you should be set after that!
