FileMaker 17 Trial is now for 45 day, giving you more time to check out the product when building a custom application up from 15 days.įileMaker Pro Advanced is the default client moving forward, and while the advanced tools are off by default, you can easily turn them in preferences by selecting “Use Advanced Tools”.You must have annual licensing in order to use FileMaker Cloud. FileMaker Cloud for Amazon Web Services (AWS) running CentOS Linux continues to improve and has reached parity for new features supported by FileMaker Server 17.

FileMaker Server on premise now includes a new admin console interface similar to the FileMaker Cloud (via Amazon Web Services) and the official release of the FileMaker Data API (RESTful API) with support to upload data into container fields and run FileMaker scripts.

The new FileMaker Data Migration Tool allows you to migrate your data from one version of your application to another saving you hours when deploying a new version of your FileMaker application.

Overall welcomed simplicity to licensing. You will also receive a single license key for all products. You can now install up to 3 FileMaker Servers for more flexibility for deployment and testing servers. This is similar to FileMaker Licensing for Teams (FLT) and includes FileMaker Pro Advanced as the default client.
