FME Desktop in App-V checking out Floating License on startup

Hi @krien​ 

I do not have experience with App-V but had worked with Microsoft Remote Apps.

Looking at the floating license logs will give us an insight on which server/clients are consuming licenses.

I would suggest to file a support ticket and send us the log file(safe.log) from the floating license server.

WORKAROUND

I think you can use a option files to restrict that certain users are allowed to access the license. https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm

At this point, I am not aware how the AppV architecture is configure i.e. if the virtual apps are configured to be used by users or if they are tied to server itself.

Hi @rahulsharma​ 

Tnx for your advice to contact Safe Support, I did that, but posted the question here also to see if this happens to other users too.

You suggested to limit the Floating Licenses access to groups / users.

I already thought of that, but it won’t work because the App-v will checkout a FL for the FME users even if they don’t open a FME process.

I'll let you know what Support comes with.

Kind regards,
