We just bought 5 licenses yesterday, without Server because FileMaker told us we didn't need server, that we can run peer to peer without it just fine.
From your last post, it appears that you are saying if we don't dedicate one computer to Filemaker and Filemaker alone, we will risk poor performance and data degradation. Is this correct?
I want to be able to access one database file living on one computer from any of our 5 computers, and have the hard drive backed up at night, while no one is using the database. FileMaker says this will work fine, are they wrong?
