Software License and Usage Guidelines

Cross Platform License Permission

The software license for FileMaker Pro Advanced provides that customers can use the software on a single computer, Mac or Windows, but not both. In addition, FileMaker allows the primary user of the computer to make a second copy to use for his or her exclusive use on either a home or portable computer (“Home/Portable Use”).

FileMaker understands and recognizes that developers will often have the need to use the software on both a Mac and a Windows based desktop computer to develop and test their cross-platform FileMaker solutions. So, as a special benefit for members of the FileMaker Business Alliance, FileMaker allows such members to use a single licensed copy of FileMaker Pro Advanced software for their own exclusive internal use on both a Mac and a Windows based computer in lieu of their Home/Portable Use rights described above. You may not use both copies of the software concurrently.

For example, if a FileMaker Business Alliance member has licensed one copy of FileMaker Pro Advanced, this member may install the FileMaker Pro Advanced software on one Mac desktop (or portable) computer and on one Windows desktop (or portable) computer, provided that such software is used for the member’s own exclusive use. If this member uses the software in this manner, then they are not allowed to use an additional copy on an additional home or portable computer based on the Home/Portable Use provision.

Not For Resale / FBA Use Only

Purchasing product under the 50% Discount Program for resale will result in immediate termination of your FBA membership.
