kptchris Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have a client who purchased a canned non-FM solution and has grown tired of it. Prior to them moving to this, they had a FM Server 5.5 solution that has been backed up, and we have the original 5.5v1 installation disc etc. However, the Database Server will not start up and stay up. I know this is a known error, and I am in place to begin migrating it to FMP Server 12 (re-building the solution). But in the meantime to get the old layouts etc, I would like to SEE the old solution running and running properly so I have reference. Now before you say, use Filemaker 6 or something else, there are 68 total Databases, and FMP has a 50 file limit, thus I require the server version to get this started. Filemaker has removed all of the old updaters from their web site, and I am unable to locate a copy of this specific update ANYWHERE. So if anyone has it, please let me know. kpt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Now before you say, use Filemaker 6 or something else, there are 68 total Databases, and FMP has a 50 file limit, thus I require the server version to get this started. You will still hit the 50 file limit when using FMS because you ultimately have to open them in FM Pro to see the layouts. You need to convert the files to FM 11 format before converting them to FM 12. FMI make the trial version of FMP 11 available to facilitate this. BTW there was no FMS 5.5 just FMS 5.0, and AFAIK the last version was 5.0v2 (for Windows). I have zipped it and attached the updater. UPDATE: there WAS FMS 5.5, my bad. I don't have a copy of the updater. fms_50v2_winNT_updater.exe.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kptchris Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yeah, somebody at some point on one of the FM Forums had the Mac 5.5v4 updater, trying to see if anybody has it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbies Mavis, Jay and Rich Posted October 30, 2019 Newbies Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi - We are needing Filemaker Pro 5.5 for the server. If anyone has this or a server already configured with this, we would be most interested in buying, renting, borrowing, and/or having this. Thanks so much.

Ocean West Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 that version is long sense legacy and not supported by most operating systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
