Hi everybody,

has anyone successfully run FME with a node locked license as a MS RemoteApp? If this is possible, would it be legal?

Cheers

It's technically possible, although I'm not sure about the legal aspects which I'll defer to someone from Safe.

Thanks for your insight. I wonder if people from safe read these discussion threads and would elaborate on the licensing aspects of running FME as a remote app.

Yes, they do read the forums, but I'm not certain if they read everything. If you don't get a reply here, consider opening a support ticket, you're guaranteed an official reply that way.

Yeah, I did that. Thanks again, mate! Will post their answer here.

 

 

Hi @jutzin,

With my understanding that RemoteApp is similar to a thin-end client like Citrix, a license is required for each user who will be using the software. From the documentation: To install FME on a server for use with a thin-end client (for example a Citrix/Winframe installation), it is highly recommended that you use a floating license. Fixed licenses can be used, but keep in mind that you will need a fixed license for each user who will be making use of the software.

Kind regards, Natalie
