About the license key
FileMaker software comes with a unique, 35-digit alphanumeric license
key. Do not lose this license key. We recommend that you keep the license
key in a safe place in case the software ever needs to be reinstalled.
You can find your license key(s) on the back of the CD sleeve. If you are
installing the software using an electronic download, follow the
instructions in your order confirmation email. You must enter a valid
license key to install and activate the software. See
“Activating
FileMaker Pro” on page 25 for information about activating your
software.
The license key ensures adherence to the FileMaker Pro or
FileMaker
Pro Advanced Software License, which allows for use of one
(1) copy of the software on a single computer at a time along with a
second copy for use on a home or portable computer, subject to the
restrictions in the Software License. For more information, refer to the
FileMaker
Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced Software License located in
the application folder where you installed your software.
If the license key is invalid or if another copy of the application installed
with that same license key is running on the network, the FileMaker
Pro
application displays this error message: “The maximum number of
licensed users are currently using this copy of FileMaker
Pro.”
To install FileMaker Pro on multiple computers, you must have a unique
license key for each installation, or obtain a volume license for multiple
computers. You must license one copy of FileMaker
Pro for each
computer.
