Number of valid clients in FM 8.5

[Robert Collins]

In the Filemaker documentation , it says that up to 5 users can share a database - I would like to know if that 5 includes the host or not . I ask as I currently have a host with 4 sharers and need to add one more user - but I don't really want to have to but FM server - so is it 5 users plus the host?

many thanks

It's been a while since I tested this, but I believe it was 5 plus the host when I was doing this with FM7. I believe that if you turn on IWP though, then one of your clients is taken up with that, so you're down to 4 plus the host if you use IWP.

Why not download the trial version from FMI then you can test for sure.

Good idea - I shall try that now
