Activate several licenses at the same time?

Hi!

I'm in a university environment and we've installed FME in two computer labs.

 

Since there are many computers that needs to be licensed through the licensing assistant (we're using floating licenses) I wonder if there is a way to do this process on several computers simultaneously instead of doing it one by one.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @hjon

 

There is a interesting OnLine documentation that it can be helpfull for you.

Hi @hjon,

 

Unfortunately this isn't something that is built into FME, so to license multiple machines simultaneously, you may need to use a third party program. You could also explore the option of licensing FME from the Command Line. Hope that helps!

Hi @hjon,

 

The command line option that I typically use is:

"c:\Program Files\fme\fmelicensingassistant_cmd.exe" --floating <server name or ip address> <license type, ie smallworld>    

 

The license file this creates for each machine will be identical. If you set up one machine to use the floating license, and then clone that machine, all the clones will be licensed.

Thanks for the response - this brought some clarity to the question - I'm going to see if there's a way to push this command line to several computers at the same time.

Have a good day!
