How can I run ArcGIS License Manager and FME License Server on the same computer?

I have floating license servers for both ArcGIS and FME.  To keep administration simple, I want to run both of these services on one server.  The problem is that they both try to use port 27000 and only one can run at a time.

 

 

I've tried changing my safe.lic file to port 27009 and it does open that port but the FLEXnet Licensing Service for FME still opens port 27000.

 

 

Has anyone gotten this to work?

The easiest solution for me was to change the host IP addresses for the ArcGIS Server administrator.

 

 

Edit this file:

 

\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\LicenseManager10_1\\License10.1\\bin\\service.txt

 

 

Add the bold text:

 

SERVER this_host ANY 27001

 

VENDOR ARCGIS PORT=27004

 

INCREMENT ACT ARCGIS 1 permanent 1 [alpha_string] \\

 

vendor_info=[alpha_string]

 

 

In the license administrator for ArcGIS, change the server name to 27004@YOURSERVERNAME

 

 

I also changed my safe.lic file to set the FME license manager to use port 27009 by changing the safe.lic file.

 

 

VENDOR safe PORT=27009
