Newbies MSHEV Posted November 28, 2001 Newbies Share Posted November 28, 2001 I know this will sound like a dumb question. But our company is currently under going a server consolidation project and we have serveral different servers running different versions of FM Server. We would like to consolidate this on to one server if possible, and well the question is..Is it possible. Can we install multiple licences of Server 5.5. on one server enabling different work groups to have there own Server software? Or is it 1 license per Machine?

Steven H. Blackwell Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Licensing is not the real issue. The real question is whether more than one copy of FileMaker Server CAN run on a single CPU, and if it can, SHOULD it? I think the answer to the first question is "NO"; the answer to the second question is "NO." Unless you have a Volume License, two copies of the same FileMaker Server can not run on the same subnet. The installs are protected. HTH Old Advance Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies MSHEV Posted November 28, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted November 28, 2001 Thank you, but if you have a volume license or are willing to buy one...can you put them on one cpu and if so...is it a really bad thing to do? Thank you for your help, I am utterly clueless with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbies JPCLYONS Posted January 11, 2002 Newbies Share Posted January 11, 2002 If I have more than 125 FP5 files on my server, is there any way to put them in folders (one-level deep) so that I can choose from the all of the files? Right now, all the files are in the root, and I can only see the first 125 files in the folder. I need to get this solved ASAP! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Kurt Knippel Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Solution = 1 server per 125 file. 1...125 files = 1 server 126...250 file = 2 servers 251...375 file= 3 servers and so on... Really do not skimp on server licenses, they are a HUGE performance and productivity booster. You'll spend far more money and resources in fighting this than simply in buy the additional server machine and licensing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
