solutions wanted FM Server 5.5 or updater 5>5.5

[merkaba22]

I need a copy of FM Server 5.5 or an upgrader from FM Server 5 -- anybody got any leads?

Have you check with FileMaker Inc to see if you can downgrade a v7 to 5.5?

Have you check Ebay to see anyone is wanting to sell a copy of it? If you find it on Ebay, be sure that you can Register it with FileMaker.

Hey Thanks!

I have been checking with eBay, etc. -- its almost a necessity by now and I have turned the reader of FM Forums.

The DB is written in FM 6 and it was my understanding that FM 7 (in this case) would require a significant re-write or de-bugging ...

FM Server 5.5 would be a very simple solution:0

What Lee was saying is that FileMaker Inc. has the option where you can purchase a license for a version 7 product and install an earlier version. I'm almost sure that they still offer that option.

It would be a little more expensive, but at least you know you would be legal.

I spoke to them the other day and they did not mention this -- i had bought a copy of FM 5 with a valid license but need 5.5 or the updater from 5>5.5 which they will not sell.

Do I misunderstand here?

I still am looking for a copy of FileMaker Server 5.5 -- anyone?

This might be little comfort but I will be looking to sell ours in say 6-12 months?

we also have a copy of 5 unlimited we don't use if that will work?

I would have to check on the licensing issues.
