6 Installation and New Features G uide
The license key ensures adherence to the single user license
agreement, which generally allows for use of one (1) copy of the
Software on a single computer at a time (refer to your Software
License). 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. Please refer to the License Key section of
your software documentation for further instructions.”
If you receive this error message, you have entered a duplicate
license key. To install FileMaker Pro on multiple computers, you
must have a unique license key for each user, or obtain a volume
license. You must license one copy of FileMaker Pro for each
computer.
