This document explains how to configure the installation of FileMaker

Server 13 for Windows or

X over a network.

Your DVD or electronic download contains FileMaker Server installers for Windows and OS X. All

use of this software is subject to the terms of your license agreement.

Before you begin

Before you configure your installation, do the following:

1. Find the 35-digit alphanumeric license key that came with your license agreement.

You received an email message with a link to your software download page. Your license key can

be found on that page.

You must enter the license key during installation or the software will not install.

For more information about the license, see FileMaker Server 13 Getting Started Guide.

Important The license key is customized for your organization. When installing software, enter

the organization name exactly as it appears on your license agreement (“Proof of License”). The

organization name must be capitalized the same way as it appears on your agreement.

2. Determine how the license key and other personalized information will be entered when users

install FileMaker Server. There are two ways to enter this information:

1 You can set up an assisted installation, which uses a personalization file named

Assisted

Install.txt to supply information to the installer and standardize your

FileMaker

Server installations. This method lets you customize the installation, and

eliminates the need to distribute and administer license keys. (FileMaker, Inc. recommends

this method.)

1 Users can personalize the software by entering their name and the license key when

installing FileMaker

Server on their computers.

Important To install FileMaker Server, users must have administrator privileges.
