Upgrading from FileMaker 8.5, 8, or 7

When you upgrade from FileMaker 8.5, 8 or 7 today, you'll get up to three versions' worth of new and improved features because you'll get all the new features in FileMaker 9 plus all the features of FileMaker Pro 8.5 and 8. See the Version Comparison Chart.

Upgrading takes just a few minutes, because database formats haven't changed from FileMaker Pro 7. So you'll just install the FileMaker software, and then open your existing database without changing a thing. FileMaker Mobile 8 upgrades are available only from the FileMaker Store as a download with optional CD and FileMaker Order Center as a Retail Box product. Volume license customers may order from their preferred reseller or from FileMaker Volume License Sales, which can be reached at 1800 028 316 in Australia or 0800 444 929 in New Zealand.

Universal Applications

FileMaker Pro 9, FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced, FileMaker Server 9, and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced are Universal applications. FileMaker will allow customers to use both a Mac and Windows version of FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Advanced on a single Intel-based Mac computer running Boot Camp even though the customer only has a single license to use FileMaker Pro.

Learn more

This applies only to Intel-based Macs running dual boot Windows & Mac. It does not change any of our other restrictions.

For example:

  1. If you have a Windows machine with dual boot capability (to boot into several copies of Windows) you would require multiple licenses of FileMaker Pro.
  2. If you have a single FileMaker database you want to access from two Windows Machines, you would require two licenses of FileMaker Pro
  3. If you have a single FileMaker database hosted on a desktop machine and you want to access from a laptop machine, you would require two licenses of FileMaker Pro
  4. If you have a single Windows or Mac machine running virtualization software and you want to run two licenses concurrently on the same machine in two virtual partitions, you would require two licenses FileMaker Pro.
