Since the complete FME Desktop and FME Server installation is huge, it would be great to be able to do incremental upgrades - only downloading the needed changes from build version X to build version Y....

Agreed, also it would be cool if FME Desktop could detect that a new minor version had been released and ask if you wanted to upgrade.

Yes!!! Especially on a complex server setup a relatively painless update option would be very nice.

The big issue would be, that I have installed 5 different versions on my laptop for 5 different customers. I do not want FME to upgrade all to the latest version, if my customers decide not to do so.

So, I agree the option would be nice, but no automatic upgrades!

Any update on this, dont need the FME Desktop incremental update - thats easy to do. But being able to easily upgrade an FME Server and FME Server Engine seems to be a larger need now. To keep up with the security patches etc - without reinstalling everything.
