Hi @twbell1963​ ,

You should be able to run a command-line prompt to update to the new license server name.

See the section “Licensing FME Desktop from the Windows Command Prompt” under “Post-Install Tasks” for details.

Thank you for the link. This method would still require me to log in locally. I am trying to accomplish this remotely.

You could open and edit the fme_license.dat file located in: C:\ProgramData\Safe Software\FME\Licenses

This file looks like this: 

SERVER licensing Any 
USE_SERVER

where "licensing" is the name of the license server. 

If your organization updated license editions (eg. from Professional to Database), then the flexlm_config.dat file will need to be edited with the proper edition name as well. 

Registered Product=database
FME Desktop Database Edition

Where for line 1 and 2: database would need to be updated to the new edition name.

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I have been searching for.
