Perhaps even more impressive, this company does all its work in FileMaker Pro, not Advanced. Unlike most relational databases, the entry-level version is not dumbed down. The Advanced version adds features needed only by custom application developers. That said, the Pro version only supports up to nine simultaneous local network users (on Windows or Mac), or five Web users. Larger workgroups will need to buy FileMaker Server 10 ($999 up to 250 simultaneous connections) or FileMaker Server Advanced ($2999 up to 999 users). Other key features that are new include saved finds, dynamic reports, script triggers, and send-mail capability. Once you’ve tried tools like saved finds and dynamic reports, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without them. Saved finds allow you to save commonly used searches right in the Status bar, for easy access. Before, you had to create scripts to do this, a cumbersome task.Did you just finish the FileMaker Pro 18 assisted install on all the machines in your workgroup? If so, you’re reading this too late. Come back and read it again before you install FileMaker 19 next year. If you haven’t installed the new version yet and you are not looking forward to how long it will take you to do so, you are in the right place.

When you’re setting up FileMaker Pro Advanced on one or two machines, you probably don’t give much thought to how long it takes to enter your license information and run the installer, but you don’t have to do this very many times before it becomes tedious and deploying a new version to even a moderate-sized workgroup can become a huge time suck.

For this reason, FileMaker provides installation options that allow you to automatically provide your license information to the installer so that it doesn’t need to be manually entered on each user’s machine. This same feature also gives you additional options that aren’t available when running the installer normally.

With a new version of FileMaker just released, now is the time to learn how to use the assisted install so you can spend all of those hours you told your boss it would take to install FileMaker doing something else.

Installing using a networked volume (Recommended).

Installing from the command line with msiexec.
