I'm still using FMP 10.  Well, I was until a few days ago.  I made the mistake of deleting my FMP from WIN7.  No worries - just re-install it.  It keeps asking me for a 'qualifying product'.  Although I have the CDs for a few earlier versions, I cannot find any of the associated paperwork; so, no luck.  (We've been moving from house to house for a few years and lots of stuff has gone missing or been buried in unrelated boxes.)

Please don't nag me about backup!  My backup wants a password; guess where I keep a record of my passwords.  Yep, in a FMP file. 

Does anyone have any idea how to get around the problem of missing 'qualifying product'?  I haven't tried contacting FMP themselves, as I doubt if they'd like to help a v10 user.

 

One possible suggestion - download a copy of FMP 14 Trial version (30 Day Demo) - upgrade a copy of your FMP file to access credentials for backups.

 

 

Thanks Ocean West.  Brilliant idea.  Should get me going but still leaves me with dozens of FMP files half written in V10.

Such is life!
