mleiser Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I saw somewhere that FM Server 11 cannot work on a Vista machine. Is that true? I have FM Server 9 running on an XP machine and I remember being told that that can't work either. Is this true? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fseipel Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yes, it is true, specs are here: FMS11_Specs They keep changing this for the last several versions, which is incredibly frustrating; for FMS10, Vista Business (NOT Home Premium) would work, but for FMS11, no version of Vista will work.

mleiser Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Should I bother to go with Windows 7, or should I just get Windows Server 2003 or 2008? Also, does anyone know if there's a less expensive copy for schools of the server programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdealData Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Also, does anyone know if there's a less expensive copy for schools of the server programs? Please call FileMaker directly for education licensing. Windows 7? Should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleiser Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 What are the advantages of the server version over getting windows 7 professional? What are the number of files that can be hosted by FM server 11 with windows 7? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 To preserve and enhance your investment in FIleMaker, I recommend you run your FileMaker Server on Windows Server 2008. Windows 7 is a workstation OS. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleiser Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks for the comeback. I really only have a workstation type of machine to use at this point. If I use 7 do I need the professional version or the ultimate version? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
