Installation notes
Before you install FileMaker Pro, review the following notes:
1 If your computer is running virus protection software, turn it off prior
to installing FileMaker
Pro, and then turn it back on afterwards.
1 When you are installing FileMaker Pro, you will see the License
Agreement panel. Read the Software License Agreement. If you
accept the terms of the license agreement, click Accept.
1 During installation, you can choose whether to install all the program files
(an Easy Install), or to install portions of the program (a Custom Install).
For example, you may choose not to install certain features in order to save
disk space.
1 An Easy Install installs FileMaker Pro in the language matching your
operating system. You can install additional language versions by
choosing Custom install, then selecting other language packs from the
list of supported languages.
1 Prior to an upgrade installation or software update, FileMaker
software scans all hard drives and volumes connected to your system
searching for previous versions. This scan may take several minutes if
you have multiple drives or volumes.
