Question

Reserve licenses for certain workflows?


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

Not sure if it is possible but feel I can't be the only person with this question.

 

I have a standard FME Pro install with 8 worker license. Is it possible to reserve a couple of licenses so they will always be available for certain workflows that run as a cron jobs?

 

I basically don't want my cron tasks getting held up because other users run processes that occupy all 8 workers.

If you're talking about 8 floating licenses from a license server, then the process is described here:

If you're talking about the max. 8 parallel users of a single FME Desktop license on a machine with a fixed license (also called a node-locked license), then I believe it's not possible.

I was talking about the latter, I'll investigate floating licenses.
