Licensing

FileMaker licensing programmes give you a choice of licensing and maintenance programmes designed around the way you work. Our goal is to provide you with the easiest software licensing programmes around — no points, no complex contracts, just simple programmes that allow you to get the software you need at a price you can afford.

Volume License Agreement (VLA) Programme

The FileMaker Volume License Agreement (VLA) programme is designed for departments and workgroups in businesses, educational institutions, government, and charities that want an easy, flexible way to take advantage of the significant discounts offered through volume licensing. There are no points to calculate and no contracts to sign. You license only what you need, and you can mix and match for greater savings and even add more licenses in any quantity.

Benefits

  • Purchases can start with a low 10-seat minimum.
  • Mix and match platforms, products (including FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Server, FileMaker Server Advanced, and FileMaker Mobile) and upgrades for larger tier discounts.
  • No minimums for adding seats to an existing VLA.
  • No signed contracts required.
  • One installation code per product.
