True or False: FME Flow has fewer source data options than FME Workbench.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It varies by license
• D. It depends on dataset type

Answer: (B)

Data connectivity in FME is defined by the readers and writers you have access to, which come from your license and runtime environment. FME Flow and FME Workbench share the same underlying library of Readers/Writers, so with the same license, Flow does not inherently offer fewer source data options than Workbench. The availability of formats is determined by what your FME license includes and how the runtime is configured, not by the product name itself. Licensing can limit both products equally, and it isn’t driven by dataset type.
