Title
LICENSE issues and Win 7 access
Post
I am having trouble with FMPro10.3ADV. Windows 7; 'Homegroup' feature of Windows 7.
I just posted this a few minutes ago. However the very next paragraph is additional.
I have a single license copy of FMPRO10ADV. Reading the license I am able to install that on two computers. However, can both computers access the same database at the same time with a single license installation?
I have a database that I want to be accessible to two home computers; Both are Windows 7. I have placed the "Trial.fp7" database into the "Libraries/Documents/Public Documents" folder of Computer A.
I have gathered that if I go to Computer B and open FMPro10.3ADV that I should attempt to access "Trial.fp7" on Computer A via the "Open Remote File" under the FMPRO10ADV "File" menu.
Is what I have said (and proceeded with) so far correct?
Next is where I am stumped. On Computer B I am now in the Open Remote File dialog window. What do I type in and where do I type it in to get FULL access to Trial.fp7 located on Computer A?
There is not any Filemaker Server involved.
Thanks,
Dekade
A license number is equivilant to a full copy of Filemaker.
You could turn on Instant Web Publishing and access the database in a browser on computer B as long as it is running in FMP on computer A.
The client software is free on iPads and iPhones.
Custom Web Publishing would also allow access through a web browser but is very complicated.
