The Mac Book Pro I was upgrading is running Yosemite and I need it to stay there for now legacy software and projects. I was multitasking as I made the purchase received the email confirmation and then I forgot to check the system requirements for 17!! Shame on me. I had intended to go to 16, but procrastinated, so grabbed the 17 upgrade at the discounted price. It’s annoying, but part of using these tools. The FileMaker Community here and elsewhere are excellent resources to read before doing any major upgrades. That said, While FMI is a subsidiary of Apple, their updates and other operations it seems are pretty much independent of one another.įMI builds versions to be compatible with both Mac and Windows and must decide which versions of the OSs to support - within their available resources. As others have mentioned, I feel that OS updates are too frequent and would much prefer “dot” fixes rather than shiny new features I won’t use. Thank you for clarifying for the benefit of others. I would love it if FMI would have updates for a longer period. The full price for one license is high, really high. FMP automatically checks for updates when opened. It is expected before end of FMI has stated that an update is scheduled for November. There’s mostly not so much new in a new os-release, that you desperately need and high sierra still will get security updates for some time. But no matter what os you’re on macOS, Windows, Linux, before making a update to a new release, you’re good advised to check first if your business-critical software will run. Thanks for your input! Yes, changes in os-releases are going too fast lately. It’s always great to hear about what others have accomplished outside of the official FileMaker support specifications. I’ve updated my post with your information. If purchasing a FileMaker 17 license is not possible, you may need to restore your MacBook Pro to an earlier version of MacOS in order to be able to install and properly use FileMaker Be sure to backup all important files and folders off your MacBook Pro, and seek the assistance of a professional, or skilled family member for assistance. After purchasing the developer subscription, you will receive license keys and download links in an email. I must note, this license is for development and testing purposes only.
