Floating license unable to activate when upgrading from 2016(32bit) to 2017 (64bit) version

Hi @superduperdave2, the symptoms of the issue you are experiencing sound very similar to this report. Please try following the suggestions posted on that thread, and let us know if that resolves the "FME not licensed." problem.

Hi @RylanAtSafe, I tried that solution with deleting the various directories but I still get the same "FME not Licensed" message. I also tried this running the IPV6 bat on the client side as mentioned here...https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/36924/fme-floating-licences-support-ipv6.html with no success. I've also tried stop/restart/re-read license with LMtools with the same result. I've ran the the flexnettroubleshoot bat on the server but I don't know what to make of the report, see attached.flexnetreport.zip

 

Hi @superduperdave2,

I've reviewed the FlexNetReport you attached. It looks like the license server host name has changed and it is now GIS3.

 

Could you

 

1) Delete any .dat files (local license files) from the following locations:

• C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME\\Licenses
• C:\\Program Files\\FME\\licenses
• C:\\Users\\\\Documents\\FME\\Licenses
• C:\\apps\\FME\\licenses

2) Connect to the floating license using: GIS3:17001

 

This should hopefully work!

I installed 64bit background geoprocessing for ArcGIS. Licensing assistant is now able to locate the floating license. @RylanAtSafe @lars_de_vries
