FileMaker Pro Software Updates: Enhancements, Security, and New Features

The latest update to Claris FileMaker Pro 19, version 19.5.1, brings significant enhancements, new features, and security improvements to the platform. As a valued user of FileMaker Pro, you can take advantage of these updates to streamline your workflow, improve collaboration, and ensure data security.

One notable addition is the notification feature that alerts users when an fmp URL is opening a hosted custom app. This added layer of security enables you to stay informed about potential threats and take proactive measures to protect your data.

If you're unable to successfully update to FileMaker Pro 19.5.1, you can refer to the Knowledge Base for installation information or continue using your current version without any issues.

It's essential to note that all versions of FileMaker after 12 have a different file format, which is not backwards compatible with earlier versions. This means that upgrading to the latest version ensures compatibility and access to new features.

As a UQ student or staff member, you can use FileMaker for academic, administrative, and research purposes on your UQ-owned computer. Annual licence renewals occur on July 20th, and you're entitled to upgrade to currently supported versions (16, 17, and 18) with your current annual licence.

For those using a concurrent connection licence, you don't need an individual user licence. However, it's recommended to purchase licences for the maximum number of users who will be using FileMaker simultaneously.

FileMaker Pro Advanced offers two licensing options:

* Concurrent Connection Licence: Multiple users can access FileMaker Server or a single system.

* User Licence: Specified users can use the software.

To obtain a licence, follow the instructions to request a quote. If you already have a licence, submit an IT request for FileMaker installation on your UQ-owned computer.

FileMaker is available for both Microsoft Windows and macOS platforms. As a powerful relational database application, it enables drop-and-drag creation and manipulation of databases, making it an ideal tool for data management and analysis.

In conclusion, the latest update to FileMaker Pro 19.5.1 brings exciting new features, enhancements, and security improvements. Take advantage of these updates to elevate your workflow, collaboration, and data protection.
