I would second that. We use Microsoft Direct Access for all laptops, which relies on IPv6 and so FME desktop is unusable with a floating licence.
A possible workaround is documented here.
On the client, create a batch file with the following two lines and execute with admin privileges.
setx FNP_IP_PRIORITY 6 /m setx FNP_IP_ENV 1 /m Do not run the batch file on the server.
There is a workaround according to this this Autodesk forum page: You need to set two environment variabls, which allows you to use FME both with and without Direct Access (i.e. with IPv6 and IPv4). Put these two lines in a batch file:
Setx FNP_IP_PRIORITY 6 /mSetx FNP_IP_ENV 1 /mHope this helps.
