This may alient professional developers; sorry if it does, but I have a fp5 file solution that was cheap to buy, but expensive to add users, so I am torn between continuing it or just starting over with something that will let me add additional users at no extra cost, save the additional fp7 software. I have a small business; every bit helps. My question, does a migration from 6 to 7 allow me to add seats to a single user file, or is this code buried somewhere that is not accessible, except to the original developer, regardless of the version.

With websharing on 7 are you allowed 5 simultainious users, and with a bit of luck can the feature

"Disconnect inactive accounts" be set very low say 5 minutes, be exployed. Where you on 5.0 only allowed 10 IP numbers within 24 hours. Further more can you now make scripts work almost to your heats desire if you're getting this plugin:

Which is quite a step up in posibilities from 5.0's webcompanion

If the developer has set the file to single user then that's it.

There is more to making a multi-user file than just clicking a radio button: some processes and techniques don't work in multi-user, or become unreliable.

Migrating from FMP 6 to FMP 7 is not a trivial process. The solution may well break.
