Local Government Subscription

How it Works

This subscription option allows your smaller municipality or city (population of under 250,000) to get exactly the same FME technology as your counterparts in major metropolises, at an affordable price. You can use unlimited amounts of FME Desktop and FME Server for a single annual price, based solely on the size of your city’s population. Now all departments within your city can use FME at no extra cost, saving you money and speeding up projects as compared to one-off license purchases since licenses are always readily available.

1 to 14,999	$7,500 USD	Unlimited
15,000 to 24,999	$10,000 USD	Unlimited
25,000 to 49,999	$15,000 USD	Unlimited

Note: Pricing above is for end use in United States. To obtain pricing for use in another country, please contact info@safe.com or your local partner.

All cities (both above and below 250,000 citizens) can also choose from regular pricing, enterprise subscriptions, and ELAs.

Benefits of Subscription Pricing for Local Government

Use More FME at a Lower Price

Since government budgets are often fixed, this lets your team use much more FME.

‘Free’ FME for All Other Departments

For one annual price, your entire city government can use FME, allowing other departments to use FME at no additional cost.

Leverage OpEx Funds

Instead of a CapEx item, population-based subscription pricing is an operating expense.

Predictable Budgeting

Take the guess out of budgeting. Simply pay the amount matching your city’s population.

Eliminate Time Lag on Projects

Since you have unlimited FME, your projects will never get delayed waiting on licenses.

Reduced Procurement Costs

Save your finance team time by opting for a single purchase instead of multiple one-offs.

FAQ's

What if my population changes?

At the next renewal date, you will renew at the then-applicable population tier.
What is my population based on?

Your population is based on your country’s official census.
What types of local government qualify?

Municipalities (e.g. cities, towns, villages, councils, etc) serving a population under 250,000 citizens are eligible to purchase a Local Government Subscription. If your city has a population over 250,000, please use the form above to contact us or one of our local partners about an option specific to your needs. Please note that state/provincial governments and federal governments do not qualify.
I recently paid my Annual Maintenance. Can I get a credit towards the Local Government Subscription?

Yes. We provide a prorated credit for the number of months remaining in your AMC total. This will go towards your Local Government Subscription for the first year.
I have existing FME licenses, what happens to them?

All of your existing licenses will be rolled into this program and while your contract is in place you will not have to pay annual maintenance of those existing assets.
What about extra-cost plugins and FME Cloud?

Extra-cost plugins and FME Cloud are not included within this program and must be separately purchased and licensed.
What’s the difference between FME licenses purchased individually and those purchased under this program?

FME licenses that are purchased individually have a perpetual term. This grants continuous use of your FME licenses, but in order to receive upgrades and support, you will have to purchase annual maintenance. FME licenses purchased under this program will timeout at the end of the current term unless you renew. You will have full access to support and upgrades at no additional cost during the term.
