Question

How do I prevent an FME license from being used by my GIS application?
 

Answer

When FME is licensed using a node-locked license, it will automatically extend applications installed on the same machine.

To free up an FME license that's being consumed by a third party application, run the FME Integration Console, and revert the application.
