Filemaker Pro 11 Upgrade [Old Version]

FileMaker is a great platform that keeps on getting better. Each new version brings us more and more functionality and flexibility. As Certified FileMaker Developers, we leverage the FileMaker platform as a the core of our business and look to these product updates so we can translate new FileMaker Pro features into new system features for our clients; adding value by saving them time and money.

Transfer worked well. I was just using it as a step between Filemaker 9 and 14, so I just didnt want data corrupted. Seems to have done well.

I purchased this upgrade here but find the License Key provided does not work and I am unable to install the software. I will attempt to return to seller unless I get a reply from Claris tech support. (I purchased this as an intermediary before upgrading to a newer version since I understand my 5.0 files have to be converted through version 11 first, but apparent Claris is not offering support for FM Pro 11 anymore.)

The product was brand new, at a good price and just what I needed.

What can be said, other than it is an improvement over previous versions in many ways including being more intuitive and functional.

Make sure you have the right version to upgrade from. I have an older version I tried to upgrade, but when I tried it could not find a previous version. So now I am trying to get another version.

DO NOT BUY. Avoid buying anything from FileMaker at all costs. This software may seem easy and simple at first, but can easily spiral out of control. Queries will become slow. Support is poor. Online documentation is not helpful. Problems for 3-4 years ago are still problems in the newer versions. Do not expect them to patch anything in the older versions once newer versions come out. You have to constantly repair the databases and archive data just to keep the system stable. Need something really helpful? If you are lucky you might find a plugin that does what you want, as it is not native to filemaker. Server and clients fail at utilizing memory and cpu. Either does not use them at all, or will consume it all. No troubleshooting tools AT ALL(my personal reason for disliking this software). Filemaker will get stuck, freeze, and crash, but fails to tell you why it did any of that. Ive worked with a couple of these versions, and every time it has been an overwhelming nightmare to work with. Only way I would recommend using this is if you have someone with experience developing in filemaker....lots of experience
