FMP11 trial version

**Coltom** · 10-12-2012, 07:02 AM

Are the trial versions of FMP11 available from here http://info.filemaker.com/Us_en_File..._11_Trial.html useable? I have a served FM11 solution (that will get converted to 12 when I have the time and inclination) that I would like to demo. Can I send them this link to download the trial client or will they be redirected to a 'You must use 12' page?

It downloads a .dmg file for me when I go there and click the relevant button.

"fmp_trial_fm_11.0.4.401b.dmg"

Yes - it does for me too. I'm just really surprised that FMI still have a page allowing a trial download for 11 as you can't buy it anymore and 12 isn't backwards compatible.

That's probably exactly why they DO still have it.

They'll still sell you FileMaker 11, too: if you buy FileMaker 12 you can acquire FileMaker 11 thrown in. Or that used to be how they did things.
