How do I get the version of the transformers in my FME-Version?
I'm using FME(R) 2016.0.1.1 (20160224 - Build 16177 - WIN32) and I just got a workbench that someone else made. When I try to open it, I get the following errors:
Found transformers in this workspace that are not on your system: 'Dissolver (version 13)' and 'AreaOnAreaOverlayer (version 5)'
Both this transformers do exist in my FME-version, but they are probably of an older version. So how do I know, what versions I'm using? What version of FME are the transformers with the above versions part of?
thanks, Vera

Could it be that the workspace you got was authored in a more recent version of FME?
Try opening the .fmw file in e.g. Notepad and look for a line starting with
#! LAST_SAVE_BUILD=...
This will will tell you which version the workspace was saved with.
If the workspace was authored by a more recent version of FME, your best bet is to upgrade your FME to the same or newer version (alternatively you can install both versions in parallel). Since FME isn't forwards compatible (older versions of FME don't know about more recent transformer versions), you don't really have much other choice, unfortunately.
