Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy additional concurrent licences?

Yes, additional concurrent licenses are available for purchase and are priced at 1/3 of the relevant edition price (for example, the cost of a FME Professional concurrent license is 1/3 of the cost of a floating FME Professional license)

Do you offer Enterprise License Agreements (ELAs)?

Yes, enterprise license agreements are available to customers with a large number of FME licenses. An ELA is like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

ELAs are ideal for new or existing organizations who want volume pricing and customers anticipating increasing usage or who require special arrangements – e.g. customized training or support.
