About the license certificate file

To install FileMaker Pro software on multiple computers, you receive a license certificate (.fmcert) file. This file is available for you to download, depending on how you purchased FileMaker Pro:

  • If you purchased FileMaker Pro directly from Claris, you received an email message with a link to your Electronic Software Download page. Your license certificate file is available from that page. Don't lose your license certificate file; keep it in a safe place in case you need to reinstall the software.

  • If you signed up for a FileMaker Cloud subscription or free trial, your license certificate file is available from the Subscription page in Customer Console.

  • If you purchased FileMaker Pro from a third party, your purchase should include instructions on where to go to enter your license key and receive your license certificate.

You must have a valid license certificate file to install the software. Otherwise, you can install the software only as a trial.

All use of this software is subject to the terms of your license agreement. Refer to the FileMaker Pro Software License you received with your purchase.
