FileMaker Cloud hosting must be done on annual licensing, as it will not work on perpetual (bought outright) licenses. Only 1 FileMaker Server can be used for FileMaker Cloud. Great for customers who have multiple servers and utilize testing servers and/or backup servers. You will be able to install up to 3 FileMaker Servers with FileMaker User Licensing. All customers will receive a single license key for each contract and the license key will not change from version to version. FileMaker User Licensing comes with the entire FileMaker Platform: FileMaker Server, FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Go, FileMaker WebDirect, and the FileMaker Data API. All customers will be immediately transitioned to FileMaker User Licensing when your license keys arrive via email. FileMaker's previous default licensing program, FileMaker License for Teams (FLT), has been replaced along with the Legacy Licensing programs AVLA, VLA, AFLT, and FLT. Any customer can now add users in increments of one, before you had to add users in packs of five users. FileMaker User Licensing requires a minimum of five users to purchase. Here we provide you with what to expect with the new FileMaker User Licensing program. As FileMaker Growth Partner of the Year for the Americas we are one of the top FileMaker Partner Resellers in the world.
FileMaker is no longer selling individual products instead they are selling the entire platform for users. As of FileMaker 17 a new and improved licensing program called FileMaker User Licensing is available.
