System Requirements

Minimum Requirements:

• Intel^® Pentium^® III or 4 processor
• 2 GB of RAM
• 4 GB of available hard-disk space

Recommended Requirements:

Note: FME will operate well with the minimum recommended configuration; however, any application benefits from additional resources. For large processing tasks, additional memory and a fast disk can measurably improve processing time.

For an FME power user, we recommend a machine similar to this:

• Intel^® Core i7 CPU
• 8 GB of RAM
• 50 GB of available hard-disk space
• a Solid-State Drive (SSD) can provide significant performance increases

Notes:

• To run FME on the Citrix Platform, a Floating License is required.
• You can easily scale processing power for FME Server by purchasing additional FME Engine licenses.
