pc FMPA13 solution on FMS 12

[kaboom786]

Hi everyone,

   I have a fm13 solution I want to deploy in our department. I was looking into fms13 but the pricing seems steep at $180/ connection. Management will obviously be concerned about cost when roughly 30-40 users will be accessing the Database. FMS12 seems to be more cost effective with IWB but I don't know how much better Web direct would be compared to IWB. Some users will only need access to one layout with a few fields and not the remainder of the DB, so getting a client license for such users would just seem a waste.

 

So my question is , since I made the solution on fmpa13 , would running it on fms12 really restrict the fmp13 features? Even if all the clients have fmp13. I read on some forums that one user was able to access fmp13 features using fms12. I just want to confirm here whether its true or not?

 

 

Also any advice on what type of package or server solution to purchase would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

When the users connect with FMP there are no connection costs with FMS13. These costs are for WebDirect and Go solutions only. Of course you have already paid for the FM client license.
