Hello,

 

I have two floating licenses on the server, i habe been using in diferent computers but with two in specific it always get the license stuck on the server. I connecetd to both computers and there is no service or application of FME running but when i retrieve the status of the licenses in the server it always appears both of them.

 

I know i can fix by stopping and restarting the service, i would like to know if there is another solution so idont have to go each day to the server and free the licenses.

 

Best Regards.

@asier​ 

There are some things I'd review:

  • ensure there are no FME-related processes running under any user for the machines that are reporting to have the license. These could be FME Workbench, FME Data Inspector, fmeobjectsworker.exe, fme.exe
  • Review if the licenses have been borrowed on the machine
    • On the floating license server, what are the results of running lmutil lmstat -a -c <license file> (aka using the command from the documentation on monitoring the floating license)
    • On the client machines that are reporting having an FME license, review the resolution in this article and remove any possible borrow registry keys

 

Hope this information helps!

Andrea
