+25Get rid of the FlexLM licensing system for FME Desktop and move to something more flexible and new.
Perhaps follow Microsoft and see if its possible to use the Etherium blockchain to do this. More information here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/microsoft-wants-to-use-ethereum-blockchain-to-fight-piracy
And directly to the research paper here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2021/08/Argus_SRDS_Camera.pdf
+29FlexLM is nice, because it sticks with what a lot of the other GIS software licensing uses (esri, Hexagon/Intergraph, QTM, etc).
+14We are looking towards using FME Server installations as the licensing manager for FME Desktop. This project is still in its infancy, so expect a lot more communication to come as the functionality matures. We may have limited features available for FME 2022.
Please note that any deprecation/removal of FlexLM is a long time out and we will do our best to over-communicate any plans!
