About installing Bonjour
The Bonjour service enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP
networks. You need to have Bonjour installed on your system for remote hosts to be discovered.
If Bonjour is not installed or the service is not running, FileMaker Pro can’t discover remote hosts.
Without Bonjour, you must manually enter the host names or IP addresses for remote hosts.
If the installer doesn’t detect a supported version of Bonjour, it prompts you to install Bonjour.
If you need to install Bonjour manually:
1. Open the FileMaker Pro installation folder.
2. Open the Files folder, then open the Bonjour folder.
3. Open the 32-bit or 64-bit folder, based on your version of Windows.
4. Double-click the Bonjour (32-bit) or Bonjour64 (64-bit) icon.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Bonjour.
Uninstalling, modifying, or repairing FileMaker Pro
You can use Settings or Control Panel in Windows to uninstall FileMaker Pro, replace missing or
corrupt files, or change which features are installed. When you repair FileMaker Pro, you may be
prompted to enter your license key.
