We have developed a list of the most useful tools and enhancements (in our opinion) below, but this list is not exhaustive. FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Advanced have been merged into one application and the licensing model now licenses the user for the entire platform (FileMaker Pro, Server, Go, and Webdirect), rather than particular products.

With the release of FileMaker 17, FileMaker has moved further towards FileMaker as a platform rather than a particular software product. If your FileMaker licenses are under maintenance or you have an annual license, you are entitled to the FileMaker 17 update at no additional charge. Upgrading to FileMaker 17 gives you access to the newest features and helps to keep your database stable and your data protected. FileMaker 14 is scheduled for official product end of life in September of 2018.

FileMaker 13 and earlier versions are no longer supported and that means there will be no updates or patches provided by FileMaker. Keeping up to date on software updates helps to ensure your data is safe and secure. FileMaker 17 Product Line Technical Brief May 2018
