FileMaker 16 Licensing (WebDirect)

[RyanESmith7]

FM16 is out and it looks like there are some very good improvements for Web Direct, but I'm not finding a lot of info on licensing. Have there been any improvements in the licensing for high user count Web Direct users?

 

[Wim Decorte]

what kind of improvements?

Cheaper?  Then no...

Technically speaking it scales better in FM 16, up to 100 per FMS hardware, up to 500 if multiple servers are clustered. But I agree with Wim: scalability in terms of licensing is non-existent. Which is a shame. But this has been discussed at large by developers with larger corporations as clients and brought to FM's attention countless times. They won't listen...
