Raizel Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 I've read to open my previous fmp5 files, I need to first get them to fmp7 format. I run FileMaker Pro 18 Advance currently on MacOS 10.15. I found site that says I can download Filemaker 11 <https://filemaker-pro-advanced.software.informer.com/11.0/> but will that not overwrite my current installation? And, will it even run on my OS? I only need to get the data out of the files.

Each one is an independent application. However, your link points to a site that seems to focus on pirated software. I would be extremely wary to install anything from there. If the links on the Claris page work, then use their trial version. 11 hours ago, Raizel said: will it even run on my OS? It might and it might not. You won't know unless you try (or unless someone with the same configuration reports). I am running v.11 under macOS 10.13 and it crashes without a fail when certain actions are performed - among them converting a .fp5 file. But the file is successfully converted and can be opened (i.e. converted further) by v.18. 4 hours ago, Raizel said: Ah, forgot about that. Farewell dBs. Not sure what that refers to.
Raizel Posted March 11, 2023 Author Posted March 11, 2023 Definitely not my intention for pirated software! I think will have problem with OS anyway. I run OS10.15 (Catalina).
