Hi!

I’m running FME Form (2024.1.2.1) alongside ArgGIS Pro (3.3.0) on a VM. I have one complex workbench that contains an ArcSDE Geodb Reader (amongst other Readers) that  runs successfully within FME Form. While trying to call the workbench from Windows Command Prompt the translation fails. Inside the application log file the following messages are displayed:

|INFORM| The Esri product license used by this machine does not include licenses for the ‘ArcServer’ licensing level

|ERROR| Unable to load a library in the folder: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin. The error number returned from GetLastError is: 127

|WARN| An error has occured. Check the logfile above for details

|INFORM| Translation FAILED with…

I can successfully run other workbenches that do not contain the ArcSDE Geodb Reader from Windows Command Prompt.

I’ve verified the Environment variables, for the PATH to have my FME installment, for having an ARCGIS_LICENSE_FILE variable pointing to my ArcGIS licensing server to see if I can force my way around the license validation. It did not work.

The ArcGIS Pro 3.3.0 is licensed as Concurrent Use Advanced. Would switching to a Single Use Standard License allow to run workbenches with ArcSDE Geodb Readers from Windows Command Prompt? What about using a Concurrent Use Standard License?

I wanted to have some feedback before asking for a license change since it is a rather tedious process.

Much appreciated!

Ioan.

Is there a service account running the windows command? If so does it have access to the concurrent license server?

Regarding licensing issues, you might be better placed reaching out to Safe support or your local partner/distributor, rather than the community.

Hi James! 

Thanks for the reply. No, there is no Service yet running the Windows command. I’ve performed the call myself manually as Admin. I’m actullay connected as Administrator on the system and I have the rights to Read/Write/Execute. 

So I will reach Support and maybe I can get a better picture of what I can/cannot do with the licenses that I have. The ArcSDE Geodb Readers are something special.
