FME Desktop floating license: Extend port range on auto search. Now FME searches for available licenses on port:

- 27000

- 27001

- 27002

- 27003

- 27004

- 27005

- 27006

- 27007

- 27008

- 27009


However if you have a big organization with many flexlmlisenses on same machine the port might be 27050. Please extend the auto-search to for instance 27100.

You can also write the correct port and it will work. However when the port changes all the users need to also change the port number.

What I do is hardcode the ports into the license file.

 

 

On the SERVER line add 27050

 

On the VENDOR line add PORT=1750

 

 

Each of our software that uses flexlm is assigned a specific set of ports. To make my life easier the increment on the server and vendor ports are matched.

 

The benefit is that firewall exceptions are then specific to the software.

 

 

While the users may have to specify the port number when installing their client software for the first time, there generally isn't a need change it ever again.
