Understanding Claris FileMaker Licensing
What's Included in a Claris FileMaker License? The license provides access to the full platform: FileMaker Pro (desktop), Go (mobile), WebDirect (browser-based), and Server (hosting). This allows users to create and manage custom apps across various devices, with each license permitting access to up to three server instances.
Is it possible to purchase a FileMaker license for less than 5 users? Yes, a single-user Claris FileMaker license is available, but it's limited. It's a one-time purchase without upgrades, excluding FileMaker Server, Go, WebDirect, and other advanced features. For full functionality and annual licensing, the minimum remains 5 users. The single-user option suits individual use but lacks collaborative capabilities.
What's the process for activating my FileMaker license? After buying a FileMaker license, you'll get a certificate file (.fmcert) by email. Use this to activate FileMaker Pro and Server during installation or to update existing installations without reinstalling. This file enables easy license upgrades or changes.
Is FileMaker Pro bundled with FileMaker Server licenses? - Claris FileMaker licenses are all-inclusive. A single user license provides access to FileMaker Pro, Server, WebDirect, and Go. There's no need to purchase separate licenses for each product, as one license covers the entire Claris FileMaker platform.
Is hosting included in the FileMaker license? - No, they not include hosting services. However, we offer high-performance, optimised hosting solutions with 99.99% uptime reliability. For more information about our specialised Claris FileMaker hosting services, please visit our service page or contact us directly.
What are the usage limits and costs associated with FileMaker's Data API license? - FileMaker licenses include a Data API quota scaling with user count. Each user gets 2GB/month outbound transfer, shared across the license. Extra 'API only' licenses are available for more transfer. API usage requires corresponding user licenses.
