Note 2: When building the. I've got the same problem here. Have you found a solution to this yet? We're seeing similar issues with the Assisted Install. When this built package is installed, users can create a new database, which is not what we want. Other options in the Assisted Install file appear to be working. We really don't want our users creating databases. This is a holdup right now for us to move to FM When more information becomes available, I will let you know.

Has anyone found a resolution to this issue of MacOS Assisted Install not honoring the choice to disable creation of new databases? I haven't found a solution to the License install problem, but we did find a workaround. The next time FileMaker is launched it will see the license file and apply the license. It worked! So I used a shell script to install the certificate in the directory for MDM installations The fact there is an imbedded database is secondary to app functions and simply a way to enable the app functions.

That's something I was able to provide for my clients, and have been for many years, obviously using FMP and not FMS and via our servers, not via their local network. One click for them could upgrade our solution files UI or Data and also if required and appropriate, update FM.

Near on 15 years without any hassle for us, or our end users. We simply wrote a news article, uploaded the replacement files and published it. They got a notification and clicked 'update'. As simple as it got. Well, we all like a positive experience, and that's actually been my experience over the many years I freelanced and helped many small businesses which used Peer to Peer very successfully as well as others using FM Server.

To suggest that P2P is somehow risky because it's easier to corrupt your data, isn't so much a problem with P2P and it's misleading to suggest as such , rather it's a problem caused by a less reliable choice and installation of the host computer and its power supply. Such as good quality uninterruptible power supply. As for backups, P2P is perfectly suited to making regular backups via Filemaker's "Save a Copy as" scripting. And backups can be automated quite easily, and if required can be run at regular intervals similar to FM Server.

And these are live backups. Unfortunately I've occasionally read misleading statements saying that you can't do live backups with P2P. Not true at all. Whether one uses Server or P2P, I believe the risk involved boils down to attitude and knowledge, and both are subjected to similar risks. Certainly Server offers more features such as WebDirect, but for a typical small office using a LAN and a business that's not connected to the www, and a business that doesn't need the "extras", P2P is quite sufficient.

Server software is more complex and powerful and it requires a lot more learning, and it's best set up by an experienced developer. On the other hand P2P is simple and does the job. For small work-groups, I believe that Filemaker Pro is certainly up to the task as regard its power and ability to perform.

It also has the advantage of being less expensive to deploy although that might no longer be so today. That said, there are certain benefits that Filemaker Server offers. It's usually run on a more powerful computer supplied with a high quality uninterruptible power supply. Such a computer is commonly dedicated to Filemaker Server software, such that no other applications are running at the same time.

If the same preparation is applied to a special computer set up to run Filemaker Pro in a safe and reliable environment with an uninterruptible power supply, and the OS is set to prevent any "sleeping" of resources, and Filemaker Pro is configured to run automated backups via "Save a Copy as", Peer to Peer is perfectly fine.

In part, I can agree with this. P2P is only part of the equation. It's not that P2P can't work I worked for years as a citizen developer, using P2P to host our custom app. So I have experience finding all the little ways to make the deployment solid. I would also, never want to do it again. When comparing the effort required to make a P2P deployment solid and safe with the effort required to make a server deployment sold and safe One can make P2P deployment solid.

Same as they can make it a train wreck. Same goes for Server. I would submit that you could set up a Server deployment to function with the ease you have described with your P2P setups. But it's a different set of issues to address. Kudos to you for having been successful with your business model. Having started from 3. I have been told I don't know how to program. I agree. That is where the money is for me.

YET in my non programing way. I track it and can reproduce it in seconds. Yet when they change the database structure where the latest version won't open past databases in Filemaker a Runtime allows you to open up that data.

As much for Backups and Data retrieval as it is for giving out "Not for Profit" versions of a Church Scout Database to folk that appreciate a good tool to use.

Giving them a runtime and leaving it open source so they can buy a copy of Filemaker and modify it to fit their needs is a good thing. Please don't take that option away. Filemaker is a great program. I love using it. I laugh. I was timed out on writing this networked post.

The bane of networks and apps is lost data. I see it every day. I think FMI should be more concerned about the markets their customers are in and less concerned with the direction they want to push everyone. I guess the Apple strategy doesn't fall too far from the tree. I agree, Josh. Oftentimes runtimes are a crutch to allow people to share their data with someone else in the office.

I get that, and had spent a lot of time creating for that space in the past auto-backups, updaters, installers, the whole thing , but the idea of someone sharing their data through P2P on a machine that also has an open web browser likely with a tab on FaceBook all day and a hodgepodge of who-knows-what other personal apps, gives me the willies now. Mission critical is mission critical. If you can't afford to lose that data, don't do it.

To suggest that P2P is somehow risky because it's easier to corrupt your data, isn't so much a problem with P2P and it's misleading to suggest as such ,. I disagree very strongly. I am called in often to remedy bad deployments, which is why I present at Devcon so often about FMS and its options, and why I blog about deployment. It takes infinitely more diligence and discipline to keep a a decent P2P setup going than it does an FMS setup.

Almost invariable what I see happening is that the designated host can no longer be the host for whatever reason and the files end up on a network share and whoever is first to the office opens them and becomes a host. That direct network access is the 1 cause for corrupted files. P2P deployments are much more prone to these kinds of failures than FMS deployments. And that makes them more risky. I'm not saying that it cannot be done with P2P, but that it is extremely rare to see.

Proper P2P deployments are the outlier, not the norm. That is the exact opposite of what they should be doing. With all due respect they need to add new technology and modern features to expand their reach and grow the platform in a profitable way not hold onto legacy technology that is not profitable or scalable.

If they are not heading in a direction that you can follow I respect that but all this talk about RT's and P2P is largely a waste of time they are moving on from that and I am glad to see it. There is so much they could add to the platform that would truly make it amazing and none of those things has to with reviving legacy technology.

That is where I am going to focus my efforts and I suggest others do the same if they wish to stay with the FM platform. I have to agree very strongly about Wim's disagreement P2P is not a professional type of installation for the platform and is a recipe for disaster sooner or later. FMI should have killed it years ago. While there may be some people that can properly manage a P2P deployment those are in very small minority and it's shocking that anyone in would still be advocating for it.

How does somebody copying the files to a network share and opening them have anything to do with it? I can go into the FileMaker Server data folders and do exactly the same thing? With our solution, the user doesn't use Filemaker's ever changing 'welcome centre', we have a launcher that performs various tasks, ensuring everything as it should be. Not once have I had a client do what you describe.

Edit: Anyway, don't worry about it. Fact is, P2P and Runtimes are dead. No point in beating a dead horse. That is the exact opposite of what they should be doing Well, you're wrong about awjacobson being wrong. FMI doesn't pioneer technology; they wait till the customers are already going there, because the industry standards or requirements were already changing.

So it's hypocritical to be pushy about new things people want and not be clingy about "old" things that people still want. Except all this talk about P2P and RT technology being "old" is about as far from the truth as this discussion gets.

If you think P2P and RT are obsolete, it's only because the FileMaker platform is making them look that way in a self-fullfilling prophecy. Meanwhile, those technologies grow and are enhanced and promoted in all kinds of platforms and arenas. A good implementation of P2P could accomplish things you simply can not do with FileMaker Server—even when you are able to find one to connect to. And who claims to have a platform for developing custom apps and doesn't help you produce a runtime?

This is why we have a product idea that steps up the game instead of dumbing it down:. If these features no longer seem compelling enough to support, then has anyone thought about ways that would make those technologies even more compelling and profitable for FMI before abandoning them? FMI would probably not allow it, otherwise we probably would have heard about it already on this thread, but I'm willing to bet that even a plugin or conversion developer could find it profitable to provide Runtime and Peer-to-Peer if FMI drops the ball.

We all have our opinions you have yours and have mine. They may be still in use on other platforms but they are still "old" having been developed decades ago. FMI has made it clear they are no longer going to support RT and P2P so again keeping on discussing it seems a waste of time.

Fine that other products want to pursure those deployment models where they may be a better fit but they are not the direction FMI wants to go. I think it's fine for people to make their case for them as they have done here but I have yet to see any compelling argument to revive them given FMI's limited resources. We appreciate all of the opinions on this thread but I think it's gotten slightly off topic.

So I am going to lock this thread. Allow me to ask a licensing question from a "prospective solution" perspective. A client has approached me about a small-market SaaS solution that would be used by perhaps up to users from multiple companies, each of which would be managing cash-flow expenses for their own independent projects.

Initially, each project would import a spreadsheet to provide a reference budget model then actual expenses would accrue weekly or bi-monthly. The basic idea is that if extra moneys above budget-to-date were necessarily spent out of one project bucket, cost-control efforts would be made to reduce moneys spent out of other buckets to keep overall costs in line.

The database would be hosted in the cloud, and users would access the tool on a monthly subscription basis. Access would be via web-direct for subscribers. Is this a viable market for a FileMaker solution? I've been around the block, but I go to outside help when useful or necessary. You didn't address the licensing model that would be suitable for a "get-going" configuration. Assume we choose to go ahead, I go to the "Buy" link at FileMaker.

At least hopefully during phase one and prior to moving to a more scalable platform as necessary to overcome WD limitations. I just spoke to my saleslady. I kept asking questions about different situations and she then called her engineer, and he told her you can place one order with a mix of N x User and M x Concurrent licenses.

I then asked about a situation where a client was interested in creating an industry-information database and allowing access to industry-users via monthly subscription or per-use fees.

She also told me that confusion right now is widespread, and that they are drafting a white-paper to try and clear things up, but that it isn't ready yet. I alluded to the fact that she may have been incorrect.

I chose not to ask her details about my client's contract. I will ask my client for those details next week - just to know.

Steve Romig FileMaker, Inc. Thanks Steve. And as a reminder to all I second that Philmodjunk! Downloading a free demo copy of FIleMaker is pretty good option, but now you've complicated the install process and if the user previously downloaded the trial, you are out of luck Agree, cynthiablue. Quite true Phil, In fact if we are thinking biology terms here Ignore the little fish at your peril..

And It is quite normal that those clients would express some regret for a change which juts harms them; but I find interesting that another client of the same company treat them as beggars and kindly asks them to leave the premise Sorry Joshua, you are right, I wasn't clear enough.

Are my numbers above correct? I understand your point, Lemmtech. Thank you. Got it. My views -- my perception. While it's truly more server-centric, as far as I know "peer-to-peer" is still available: Peer-to-peer sharing is limited to 5 simultaneous client connections Lemmtech wrote That's dumb. It's like cutting off your feet after buying a car. Eric Matthews wrote: fxdb wrote I just saw your plea, and voted it up. Eric Matthews wrote: I just saw your plea, and voted it up.

After having discussed with my colleagues , the reason for that message is that Peer - to - peer sharing cannot be secured with SSL encryption - hence we cannot remove it and cannot provide a way to suppress it.

Douglas Wallis However, in my case, they did not take into account just how many 'clients' that would be, as such it was unsuitable.

Also: 1. So what is left? FBA membership is not a factor here. SBA is a good program. Well, you could customize FMPA a bit. Just goes to prove; FileMaker Developers span all types of former careers! I suspect that Runtime will not achieve deprecation until FileMaker replaces it I have been hoping for the same, but the ever increasing list of new features that are excluded from run times even functions such as UniqueValues does not fill me with optimism that this will happen. Lemmtech wrote: FileMaker does not want to admit to itself that no one cares about their brand they only care about the solution.

It is about reliability and TCO. I think we have to be careful with statements like FileMaker is only interested in selling FileMaker and as many licenses of 5 or more as possible into the business low code development market as possible and building up their brand in the process. Sent from my iPad I respect your opinion and I tried to do that after 12 came out because I was so upset about it long sad story but it was just an expensive road to nowhere. Well, at least we'd know they were listening.
