Licenses and FME2009
This is an important notice for users of FME2009 with Floating licenses or Hardware Locked licenses (the ones with a dongle). As of build 5603, FME2009 now requires Flexlm v11.4 (not v8.2 as previous). This update adds support for these licenses on Windows Vista, but may affect any user who upgrades to FME2009. Floating license servers should be upgraded to Flexlm 11.4, while Hardware Locked installations will need a new set of dongle drivers. For more info see: http://www.fmepedia.com/index.php/Hardware_Locked_Licenses and http://www.fmepedia.com/index.php/Floating_Licenses
