I'm trying to run an old project in Desktop 2020 and keep running up against the error "The Geodatabase ... is newer than the ArcGIS installed on this machine. As a result the Geodatabase cannot be opened"

Log file shows it checks out a license from ArcGIS 10.6.1 but I have ArcGIS 10.8 installed, although there is a Desktop10.6 folder in ArcGIS/Program files as well.

Can I 'force' FME to select a 10.8 ArcGIS license or is there another work around?

@steve-h​ In FME 2022 there is an option to select ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro under the Workbench navigation tree, Workspace Parameters, Translation, Esri ArcGIS Compatibility. I don't think this will help you in this case. I think it's more likely that this Geodatabase has been edited in ArcGIS Pro and is no longer compatible with ArcGIS Desktop
