Hi,

I downloaded the trial version, and installed it.

I am using the Linux version.

When I start fmserverd, I get the message

"This version has expired. Please use a current version."

There was no fms_resgistration command with the trial package.

When I try to open the server from a client, it doesn't seem to work.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

David

It looks like you have downloaded an older version of FM and/or you have installed earlier. I think that the demo is good only for a 30 days from the initial install.(change your system time if you know it was not installed eralier)

Do you have any network drives mapped?(Win related)

...does it have to be a Penguin platform?

If I am not mistaken it was Mac--Win--Linux development path for FM...the unspoken rule: Latest Versions XYZ of Any software always ~@#$%$^%@#()*#!

==============================================

-Look into downloading the newst version pack/patch

-Make sure your system is running ok

-Send an email/call FileMaker people and ask about the simmilar issues

- Look under FAQ in Filemaker.com

...you can not register trial versions

=========================================================

...(and to what the truth behind this probably is....) I have not seen a "Re_move_tri_al solution" for Linux TRIAL versions...Windows is outhere for V 5.5

i had the same thing happen to me...

howeven i bit the bullet and bought the server version for linux..

i'm using it on linux 7.3 and it works great

there is a solution reported for using it on linux versions newer than 7.1
