Engine Using and Config

I can't find ArcFM Viewer when I open ArcMap. Where can I locate it?
1. ArcFM Viewer runs independent of ArcMap, so it is not opened through ArcMap (like ArcFM). Instead, you can select ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine from the ArcFM Solution folder on the Start Menu.
Why can't I edit custom classes feature classes in ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine ?
1. Relationship classes, feature-linked annotation, dimension feature classes, and custom feature classes require a Geodatabase Update Extension license from Esri in order to edit them. You will need to request that license from Esri .
