 Let's find the right FileMaker products to fit your specific business needs. The FileMaker platform is a line of products that work together to help you streamline your business. The products include FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Go and FileMaker Server. Start with FileMaker Pro on a Windows or Mac computer to create your custom business solution. You can also run your solution using FileMaker Pro. Or consider FileMaker Pro Advanced for additional development and customization tools. To run your solution on iPad or iPhone, use the free FileMaker Go app which is available on the App Store. For a small team, use FileMaker Pro to share your solution with up to five other FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Go users. For larger groups, use FileMaker Server to share your solution. FileMaker Server also provides additional security and many other robust sharing features, including the ability to access your solution from a web browser using FileMaker WebDirect technology. Knowing how users will connect to your solution helps determine what to purchase. Users with a paid license of FileMaker Pro on Windows or Mac can connect to the server for no additional cost. Users with web browsers or users running FileMaker Go on iPad and iPhone require paid connections to the server. These are called concurrent connections. Let's take a look at how concurrent connections work. A team with several members connects to a FileMaker Server using an iPad, iPhone or web browser, and they use a FileMaker solution on and off throughout the day. At various times there are different numbers of users connected. The number of connections needed is determined by the maximum number of people connected at any one time using an iPad, iPhone or web browser. In this example, the maximum number connected at one time is eight, so you will need to purchase at least eight concurrent connections. FileMaker Server comes with one connection so you can test your solution on an iPad, iPhone or web browser. You can add more connections in groups of five. So for our previous example, with eight people connecting at one time, you will need to purchase two groups of five to equal ten connections for the FileMaker Server. This gives some extra connections to use on busier days. It is easy to add more connections in groups of five as your team grows. If you need more than fifty connections, purchase a FileMaker Server with unrestricted concurrent connections. This server removes the restrictions on the number of connections and is limited only by your hardware configuration and the complexity of your solution. In summary, to create and run your solution use FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced. On an iPad and iPhone, run your solution using FileMaker Go. When sharing the solution with a small team of up to five other people, purchase a FileMaker Pro license for each Windows and Mac user and download the free FileMaker Go app for each iPad and iPhone user. When using FileMaker Server to share with larger teams and to enable web connections, purchase enough licenses of FileMaker Pro for all your Windows and Mac users and purchase the appropriate number of concurrent connections for your iPad, iPhone and browser users.
