I am trying to restrict licence on a floating licence server to a certain machine and i did as instructed in here:

http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm

and create a safe.opt in the same folder as safe.exe in the FlexServer folder with the safe.opt content as :

RESERVE 1 professional HOST_GROUP groupA

HOST_GROUP groupA GIS-TEST2

i thought the problem was that i need to restart the server but still not working even though in the log file it clearly says :

(safe) Using options file: "C:\\Program Files\\FlexServer\\safe.opt"

i thought the problem was with the name of the machine (which i got from running "lmutil lmstat -a -c safe.lic" while it was connected) so i tried again using the IP instead but still not working

Are you sure that you're running the Professional edition of FME? You have to reference the FME edition on the first line, e.g. for the ESRI edition:

RESERVE 1 esri HOST_GROUP groupA
HOST_GROUP groupA GIS-TEST2

 

Yeah that was it actually

Thanks man
