Switching the FEMAP licensing method

FAQ: How do I switch between floating/ network, dongle, and demo license types?

In your installation direction, commonly c:\program files\Siemens\FEMAP*, there should reside three batch files:
  1. Run go_demo.bat to switch to a node limited license
  2. Run go_network.bat to switch to a floating/ network license configuration
  3. Run go_dongle.bat to switch to the dongle licensing configuration
To switch to a subscription type licensing, there is a folder called Subscriptions in the FEMAP install folder, run the go_subscription.bat.
