Due to the variety of FME Desktop versions used by clients, I have 6 versions of FME Desktop installed on my work computer. It would be nice if there was a way to to apply/update a license to all installed versions of FME simultaneously. My thought is that, when I open the Licensing Assistant for any of the installed versions, and apply a new license, it would be awesome if a dialog appeared asking if I would like to apply the license to all installed versions of FME Desktop, with Yes and No response buttons.

I think with FME 2016 this should already happen automatically. License files are stored in "C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME\\Licenses", and when using the FME Licensing Assistant the files updated/created here apply to all FME versions on your computer. But only in FME 2016, the license files for previous versions were stored locally for every installation, meaning you had no option for updating licenses simultaneously.

My licenses are installed in that location, but I had to manually upgrade the license for 2016.0, 2016.1, and 2017, so I'm not sure if I missed something. It would also be nice if this applied for older versions as well.
