Using a FileMaker Cloud trial with FileMaker Pro (FileMaker Cloud)

Note  The following information is for FileMaker Cloud team managers.

If you’re using a FileMaker Cloud trial, you can download a license certificate to work with FileMaker Pro. This license certificate will allow you to host FileMaker custom apps with FileMaker Cloud.

To download your license certificate and connect it to FileMaker Pro:

  1. The first time you sign in to Claris Customer Console, a dialog appears. Click Download license certificate, then click Next.
  2. Connect your license certificate to FileMaker Pro.
    • If you don’t have FileMaker Pro, click Download now in the dialog. Then follow the installation instructions for entering the downloaded license certificate.
    • If you have FileMaker Pro, open the application.
      • If the FileMaker Pro License dialog is open, Click Enter License, then choose the downloaded license certificate.
      • If not, choose HelpReplace FileMaker License (or Buy FileMaker Pro). Click Enter License, then choose the downloaded license certificate.

See Replacing the license certificate.

If you don’t want to download the certificate or FileMaker Pro when you see the dialog, you can do so later on the Subscription page. See Downloading FileMaker software (FileMaker Cloud).
