Question

Can 32-bit FME be run on a 64-bit machine?

Answer

Yes, the standard 32-bit FME can be run on a 64-bit machine. Because of the system architecture, and the ability to use up to 4GB of memory if required (32-bit has a default 2GB limit), FME should run considerably faster than on a regular 32-bit machine.
