Can I use a Linux machine for a floating license server

From Fmepedia


Q) Can I use a Linux machine for a floating license server?

A) Yes! As of Build 5136, you can now use a Linux machine as an FME Floating License server and/or use a floating license on a remote server. Follow the documentation for Floating Licenses on UNIX to install. FlexLM for Linux is available at ftp://ftp.safe.com/fme/floatingLicense/FlexServer-linux-x64.tar.gz or ftp://ftp.safe.com/fme/floatingLicense/FlexServer-linux-x86.tar.gz

It is also permissible to use a Windows PC as a floating license server for a Windows FME installation on Linux with WINE - FME running under WINE can make use of floating license servers. In addition, you can run the FLEXlm license manager under WINE as well, and this would allow a Linux machine to be a floating license server. However, this is not specifically supported by Safe. If it works for you, great. If it doesn't, we can't do anything to help.
