In 1955, [[Poland]] received a license for MiG-17 production. The MiG-17F was produced by the [[PZL-Mielec|WSK-Mielec]] factory under the designation '''Lim-5''' (an abbreviation of ''licencyjny myśliwiec'' – license-built fighter). The first Lim-5 was built on 28 November 1956 and 477 were built by 1960. Apart from Poland, a number were exported to Bulgaria, designated as MiG-17F.<ref>{{Citation | last = Łuczak | first = Wojciech | title = Limy w Bułgarii | trans-title = Limy in Bulgaria | journal = Militaria | volume = 1 | number = 2 | year = 1991 | page = 10 | language = pl}}</ref>  An unknown number were built as the Lim-5R [[reconnaissance]] variant, fitted with the AFA-39 camera. In 1959–1960, 129 MiG-17PF interceptors were produced as the Lim-5P. WSK-Mielec also developed several Polish [[attack plane|strike]] variants based on the MiG-17: the [[PZL-Mielec Lim-6|Lim-5M]], produced from 1960; [[PZL-Mielec Lim-6|Lim-6bis]], produced from 1963 (totaling 170 aircraft). Additionally some Lim-5Ps were converted in the 1970s into attack Lim-6Ms whereas other Lim-5, Lim-6bis and Lim-5P aircraft were modified for reconnaissance role as the Lim-6R,  Lim-6bis R and Lim-6MR.

In the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC), an initial MiG-17F was assembled from parts in 1956, with license production following in 1957 at [[Shenyang]]. The Chinese-built version is known as the [[Shenyang J-5]] (for local use) or F-5 (for export). Similarly the MiG-17PF was manufactured there as the J-5A (F-5A for export). Altogether 767 of these single-seater variants were built.
