How Do I PORTABLE Download An Older Version Of Filemaker Pro
Andrea Dewyse
I have an instillation running FMS v12. There are existing iPhone clients but I now want to add some new iPhone users. The App Store only offers v14 and v15 of FMGo. How can I install an older version of FMGo so that they can access FMS12?
FMGo 15 is compatible with FMS 12. The opposite condition (older versions of FMGo with newer versions of FMS) might not be compatible because the database might contain newer features that are not present in older clients.
The previous version of FileMaker Go, in this instance 18, is always pulled from the store sometime after the release of the current version, which is 19 at this time. The set time for this as well as the end of live for support of older versions are available on Claris site. I looked for this information but didn't found .
If you have a perpetual license for an earlier version of a FileMaker product that is not linked on this page, please contact cusof...@cornell.edu. Please be advised that some older FileMaker products may not be compatible with contemporary operating systems.
MirrorSync 5 and earlier will work with FileMaker Server all the way back to version 10. The MirrorSync 6 script was re-written to use new features in FileMaker 17, so it requires that version or later. When you purchase a MirrorSync license, it will also work on older versions, so to sync with an old version of FileMaker Server, purchase MirrorSync 6 and then contact sup...@360works.com to have us send you an older version to use.
Prism 10 introduced a new file format that uses the ".prism" file extension. This new file format is the default for Prism 10 (and will likely be used with future versions of Prism as well). Because Prism 9 (and all other earlier versions) were released before this file format was created, these earlier versions of Prism cannot open files with the .prism file extension. If you have an older version of Prism on your computer and you try to open a file with the .prism extension, you will see one of the error messages detailed below.
The easiest way to resolve these issues is to upgrade to Prism 10. You'll be able to open files using the .prism file extension, and you'll still be able to open and work with files in older formats in Prism 10 (Compatibility Mode was introduced to allow you to keep working with files using the .pzfx and .pzf file extensions).
In case you need to share a file with a colleague who is using an older version of Prism, Prism 10 also allows you to save your files inot one of the older file formats (using either the .pzfx or .pzf extensions). Simply use the File > Save As... command.

FileMaker Pro 3.0 introduces relational filesand portals, TCP/IP networking capabilities, and OLE support. A newfile format was also introduced, with the suffix .fp3; older files(with the suffix .fm) require conversion to the new format; onceconverted, they will no longer run in older versions of FileMaker. Ifyou need or want to open a file in an older version, be sure to save acopy in the older format before converting to the new.
Version 5.0 was a major upgrade, with another new file format (.fm5)that required conversion of older databases (with the same caveats asbefore). New features: built-in ODBC driver, enhanced Web publishing,layout/report assistant, table view, script import, conditional valuelists, data merge on import, and QuickTime VR support.
ITS is upgrading to FileMaker Pro 12 because there is no longer any support for versions before 9. Currently, the FileMaker Server is at version 8.5. Beginning at 4:30PM on Monday, February 25th the FileMaker Server will be upgraded and will not be available until Tuesday, February 26th at 4:30PM. FileMaker 12 introduces a new file format: fmp12. Files created using the older fp7 file format will need to be converted before you can use them with FileMaker 12. Once a file has been converted to the new format it will no longer be available to an older FileMaker Pro client.

FileMaker Pro 12 was released in April 2012 and uses a different file format than previous versions. Files can not be shared between FileMaker Pro 12 and older versions of FileMaker Pro, and once a file has been upgraded to the version 12 format it can not easily be downgraded to the earlier formats.
