Hi,

I had fme desktop 2018 with a fixed license, then i switched to fme desktop 2019 with a floating license, and now i can't open my old fmw files.

Once i try to open an old fmw file it gives me an error : File cannot be opened : user may not have sufficient privileges to read the file. (but i still can lunch fme dekstop).

Any ideas ?

Thank you,

Soukaina

Are you sure that's the only thing that's changed? It's just that the error doesn't seem to have anything to do with moving from a 2018 fixed to 2019 floating license. Any chance network permissions have changed?

Yes it's the only thing that has changed even since.I have all the required permissions and control over everything.
