You will need to decide if this functionality will work for your situation and allow you to only use the FMS plug-in instead of installing the client plug-in on each FMP computer.
#FILEMAKER SERVER 13 REQUIREMENTS PRO#
Functions that need to be run on the local FileMaker Pro computer will not work, such as functions that display dialogs, modify local files, and etc. This does allow you to use the Server plug-in from FMP, but it may not provide complete functionality. If you are using FMS 13 (or higher) and FMP 13 (or higher), you can use the “Perform Script on Server” script step to call a script from FMP to run on the FMS which utilizes the plug-in. If you are using FileMaker Server 12 (or higher) and FileMaker Pro 12 (or higher), you can use the “Install Plug-in File” script step to distribute the client plug-in to your FileMaker Pro computers.Įxception.
#FILEMAKER SERVER 13 REQUIREMENTS UPDATE#
FileMaker Server does not give you the ability to create or edit scripts.įileMaker Server’s Auto Update functionality (FMS 11 and below) can help you distribute the client plug-in to your FileMaker Pro computers.

#FILEMAKER SERVER 13 REQUIREMENTS INSTALL#
In order to write scripts for the Server plug-in to use, you must install the client plug-in in FMP on at least one computer. FileMaker Server plug-ins simply give the Server the functionality of the plug-in and does not replace the plug-in on the FMP client computers. This is not a restriction we added, but simply a result of how the FileMaker Server (FMS) works. If you have FMP client users that need to directly use the plug-in, the normal client plug-in must be installed on each FMP computer. The Server Plug-in does not bypass the need to install the plug-in on your FileMaker Pro (FMP) client computers. What are the limitations of the Server Plug-in? The Server Edition of the plug-in allows you to install the plug-in on your FileMaker Pro Server and use it with Server Scheduled Scripts (FileMaker Server 9+) and FileMaker Server Web Publishing (including custom/instant web publishing, and WebDirect). What functionality does the Server Plug-in provide? If FileMaker Server is supported on an Operating System, the plug-in will generally also support it. The plug-in is simply an extension of FileMaker, because of this, the plug-in will only work on Operating Systems that FileMaker Server supports. For example, FileMaker Server 13 has a limit of up to 50 simultaneous users for WebDirect. The only limit of users is what FileMaker Server Advanced limits itself. The Server plug-in is unlimited in regards to web users. Is there a limit on web user access to the Server plug-in? You can download the Server Edition plug-in from our Downloads page by clicking the “Download (Mac/Win)” download button.

Yes, and we highly encourage you to do so! The Server Edition plug-in is available to demo just like the client plug-in.
