About the license key
To use the Web Publishing Engine, you must purchase and install a FileMaker Server Advanced license key.
Although you can install the Web Publishing Engine software without a license key, FileMaker Server will
not allow the Web Publishing Engine to connect without a FileMaker Server Advanced license key.
If you purchased FileMaker Server Advanced, you can enter the license key during FileMaker Server
installation. If you purchased FileMaker Server Option Pack, you must update the license key after FileMaker
Server installation. For information on installing FileMaker Server or updating the FileMaker Server license
key, see the FileMaker Server Administrator’s Guide.
Note Only one Web Publishing Engine is allowed with each copy of FileMaker Server.
