Going from FM6 to FM 6 Unlimited

[homster]

This may sound like a stupid question, but I need some expertise to explain it to me...I have been using Filemaker 6 to build some databases and I also created some CDML pages to share information out on the web. Fortunately, or not so fortunately, we have been exceeding the user limit A LOT lately. We have the databases and web pages sitting in the web folder, on a PC running XP Professional. I have been tossing around the idea of getting Unlimited to take care of the user limit issue. I know that Unlimited is being discontinued soon, but it will be a much cheaper solution than going for the Filemaker 7.0 advanced server. The main purpose of these databases is so that they can be accessed through the Internet, and right now I need to allow more users to get there....This is my question, before I choose to go this route...will everything be set up with Unlimited just as it is with Filemaker 6? Will I be able to simply load the Filemaker Unlimited on a PC running XP Professional, move the database and web pages into a web folder there and be good to go? Are there any other "connector pieces" that are needed? Are there other things I should be aware of that might be a problem? Any advice would be appreciated!

FileMaker Version: 6

Platform: Windows XP

It is generally as easy as moving everything to the server. Some fine-tuning may need to be done, however that would be very basic.

Good Luck.

thanks for your reply, so in essence, Unlimited will run on the PC the same way Filemaker 6 did, and the files are in a web folder just like Filemaker 6? I was concerned that I would purchase Unlimited, and then find it wouldn't work on a simple PC running XP....and Unlimited should definately solve the user limit problem, correct?
