FME Editions

The FME product is made up of a number of different applications. The available functionality and formats within these applications is controlled by the level of licence purchased. The different licensing options are referred to as "editions".

Several editions of FME and licensing options are available. Below is a breakdown of some of the different product options. The FME Edition most suited to you will depend on which formats you intend to use and what processing you wish to carry out. If you are not sure which edition suits your requirements contact Dotted Eyes.
