Change server name to a different name using Licensing Assistant with command prompt/scripting

Hello,

 

We are trying to run a batch file/windows powershell to change the floating license for using a different server name for FME Desktop 2019 edition. The reason is the users do not have any administrative permission on the local C drive - thus they cannot change manually. We would like to do this with a script and also where/how is this licensing information stored on the computer?

Thanks !

Have a look in the text file fme_license.dat, which normally is located under C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME\\Licenses\\fme_license.dat

Hi @litung8​ as @david_r​ suggested the license information for floating license server is stored at the location. You can grab the file from a machine pointing to the new server and push them to other machines.

 

For command line options please refer to this online documentation, under topic "Licensing FME Desktop from the Windows Command Prompt"
