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 another copy of the application installed with the 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.
