Introduction
The FME Licensing Assistant is where FME Form licenses can be activated, viewed, modified, or removed. For Windows only, it is also the place where an offline license can be borrowed.
If you are installing and licensing FME Form for the first time, launching FME Form will pull up the Licensing Assistant for you since it'll need your input to find a license file or connection.
