From version 2022.0 onwards, FME will be available exclusively as a 64-bit version. The manufacturer Safe Software is expected to provide patches for the 32-bit version of FME 2021.2.x until 2026, so that a stable 32-bit version will also be available in the medium term (further information can also be found at: https://community.safe.com/s/article/FME-32-bit-Windows-Continued-Support). If you have any questions, please contact our support.

Virtualization
FME Server should run on almost any virtualization provider's platform, on any supported operating system. FME Desktop additionally requires GUI support (most leading vendors such as AWS and DigitalOcean provide this, but a small number of other services may not).
Recommended Hardware Requirements
Pentium® 4, AMD Opteron or newer with 8 GB or more of RAM and 20 GB of available disk space. While FME products can operate on legacy hardware, additional memory, faster CPU and disk will significantly improve processing time.
