  • We are about to install Server for the first time on a dedicated virtual machine. Since our subscription now includes floating Desktop licences, does it cause any problems to have the Desktop licence manager installed on the same box? Thank you

Hi @bigclyde​, this should not be an issue. Hoping the comments in this thread help answer some questions as well.

From our experiences with FlexNet License Server I can tell you that it (FlexNet) should not be installed on a virtual machine. Maybe Flexera fixed it since we last tried.

Apart from that, there should be no issue.

Hi @caracadrian​, there might be some configurations hurdles to get past to get the floating license working on the cloud but it is definitely feasible. Linking this article here for reference: Create an Inexpensive FME Floating License Server in the Cloud in 15 Minutes

Thanks Jenna,

 

So far it seems to be doing ok.
