Hello I would like to know if it is possible to transfer my free "Single-Fixed License" to a new computer. My old computer is in trouble and I need to transfer the license to another one. I thank you for your return. Leugim

Hi folks, I have a question of a customer : We are preparing the FME version upgrade for the coming weeks / months. In this context we ask ourselves the question of how to obtain a new license file for the new license server. Is it possible that the two versions coexist during the tests and the final changeover?

Hi - I wanted to find out if a trial license will be lost if FME Server is upgraded? Is an uninstall/re-install and then restore config backup.Will this loose the trial license? If so - how does one continue the trial? e.g. FME Server 2020 installed and wanted to upgrade to 2020.0.01 which I see was just released. Thanks

We are new to migration from Windows FME to Linux and welcome suggestions and recommendations.

Hello I am trying to install FME-desktop-2019 and I am getting dependency error as follows: Could you help to instal FME in Linux? or this is a no go OS for FME?

Hi, Once I receive the new safe.lic file and activate the new license server, what happen with the old one ? Does it still remain active until I shut it down or will it immediately stop to work ? Thanks

Can someone help me resolve the following error when I try installing FME Desktop: An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C\\...\\Document\\FME

License server runs on a Windows machine. We have 20 floating licenses. When a user tries to borrow a license from within Workbench we get the following message (both on pc and Mac)

Hello, I've updated FME server V2018 to V2019.2.3 Unfortunately nou the scheduling does not run. There are no scheduled tasks in the que. If I manually start a job at the server it appears in the que but does not run at all. Wich services are responsble for the schedular. Do they have to run with SYSTEM? Or do all the services have to run with SYSTEM? thanks for your reply

Was previously running Windows 10 Pro build version 1809, until yesterday when Windows decided to update me from build version 1809 to build version 1903. This update seemingly has deleted FME Desktop application, though the other FME application such as Data Inspector and Quick Translator are still present. I launched FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 and tried to enter in my Home Use License serial number into the Single-Fixed-License field. But it returned this error. ""Invalid trial activation code This trial activation code has already been used to generate a license. If you wish to obtain a new trial activation code, please visit www.safe.com/trial."" The license is valid for another two months. So my license isn't expired either. I also tried pointing the FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 to C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME\\Licenses since the license file still exists. That returned "License not valid on this computer" So I'm at a total loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have fme server and and engines on two different machines in a distributed environment. I am trying to query the underlying postgres database directly through toad datapoint. It seems I need to connect to port 7082. I have not figured out the server name and location however. DataPoint is on my local box not on fme server.

We're upgrading our servers and databases to ArcGIS 10.6, Oracle19c and FME 2019 I'm installing the new machine for FME, but 'm unable to connect to our database with the ArcSDE Geodb reader. I'm using a sde connection file(which works in ArcCatalog), but when I try to open the Table List I get the follwoing error: Failed to retrieve feature types.Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216072'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Underlying DBMS error[Unknown errorNo extended error.]} Here's the additional logfile: My Setup: Server: Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard FME Desktop 2019.2.2 64-bit ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1 ArcGIS Desktop Background Geoprocessing 10.6.1 (64-bit) Oracle Client 19c Oracle instant client 19.5 64-bit Database: Oracle 19.c ArcSde 10.6.1 Connecting to the database with an Oracle Reader does work. Any idea what the problem could be?

Hello, While configuring a license from the command line, I found this article. Only, I couldn't get it to work. The problem is, that you have to use fmelicensingassistant_cmd.exe in all cases. (Not just fmelicensingassistant)Could you please update your documentation accordingly? And maybe explain that you can retreive the license type bij running the --query command line. Kind regards, Fabian Hofman Axians

I am really new to FME. I need to move spatial data (both topology and attributes) from Smallworld to Azure postgre.postgis. Additionally, I also need to take care of the "delta" data moves (incremental updates). Pls let me know your inputs. 1. Is an intermediate XML unavoidable? 2. Is it a plain lift & shift or should I be concerned with Data Modelling?

Hi, I have a client who has no troubles installing FME 2018.1.2.0 (build 18590) in A Citrix environment. He tries to upgrade to 2019.0 (build 19238) and get a error message: I have not had the time to troubleshoot too much, anyone seen similar and knows what might cause this problem?

@DeWetAtSafe: I found your archlinux package of fme desktop 2017 at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fme-desktop-2017/ I tried to re-pack fme desktop 2018 using the files for 2017 as a template, albeit unsuccessful. Would it be possible that you create a package for the fme desktop 2018, too? That would be most helpful!

Some really weird has happend to my Win-10 enterprise PC: Starting FME workbench 2018.1.1.2 fails with the "LibraryLoad failed with error 87" error message. Has anyone else had to deal with it? By googling it seems to be a generic windows issue. I can't find any FME - specific discussions about this error. My theory is that some windows upgrade has broken my FME installation. Happy for any help. If I find a solution I'll post a followup.

We have FME 2018.1 when you choose “Use system proxy settings” it uses the system proxy ok, but it ignores any exceptions you may have set in Internet Options e.g. for local addresses that don’t use the proxy. The work around I have at the minute is to add each individual server on our local domain to the Custom Proxy Map in FME Preferences as having No Proxy however I can’t use a wildcard to do this the same way it is in the Internet Options exceptions list e.g. server1.domain.com rather than *.domain.com. Is this by design? Exception list in Internet Options Proxy Window and use System Settings in FME

Hi, using FME 2019.1.2 (32bit) I encounter the following issue: Data Source is an ESRI FileGDB. Table 1 - has a GlobalID column and content is shown with braces in FME - has GUID column referencing GlobalID in table 2 and content is shown without braces in FME Table 2 - - has a GlobalID column, content is shown with braces in FME Now, when I want to merge both tables with FeatureMerger (tab1.Guid = tab2.Globalid) no features are merged. If I add braces to the GUID column features will be merged in FeatureMerger. As far as I understand GlobalID and GUID are the same data type in ESRI - so why are the shown / treated differently in FME? I'm aware of this posting about missing braces - but in the situation I described above its not just a display issue. It seems to me that GlobalID have braces in FME whereas GUID dont. And that prevents merging (joining) both tables easily. Rob

Hello Team, we recently installed FME server 2019 and now we are trying to configure license which we got through .

Then i change the file extension to .fmelic and tried to upload it this i am getting following error, could somebody assist me to fix this issue.

Anyone who has an idiotproof guide to how I change the default port numbers for FME server docker install into else than 80 or 443? I plan to run this on a linux server with loads of other stuff, including a web server on port 80. Lots of other stuff that breaks if I put FME server on port 80. I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with this use case... I am quite baffled that port number this isn't a parameter in the installation script.

I'm seeing the 'unable ot load interpreter' issues when publishing FME workspaces (with arcpy) to FME Server. They run fine in my local with the python interpreter pointing ot the python libraries from ArcPro install but fails on server.

The ArcObjects license 'Advanced' is being selected from the ESRILicenseInfo ArcObjects call The Esri Product license used by this machine does not include licenses for the 'Advanced' licensing level Unable to load a library in the folder: C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin. The error number returned from GetLastError is: 127 A fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for details

What Flexera LM version is needed for FME Desktop 2019.1.2.0 floating licenses? In this case the customer is using the ArcGIS License Manager 2018.1 an therefore FLEXnet Publisher 11.14.1.2 (Note: FLEXnet Licensing Service - 11.14.1.3) Are there any other things to consider when using ArcGIS License Manager with FME Desktop floating licenses? Thank you in advance for your help! Cheers - Martin
