Re: FMP5 Licencing...

[Jeremy Stoltz <jstoltz@xxxxxx>]

Here is a paragraph out of the license agreement for FMP 5. It specifically
states you can't use a middleware product. I can send you the entire license
agreement if you would like.

(e)    SPECIAL TERMS FOR FILEMAKER PRO ONLY:  If you have licensed the
standard version of FileMaker Pro, when deploying FileMaker Pro for hosting
non-FileMaker Pro clients, you are permitted to host up to but not more than
ten (10) guests (e.g., IP addresses via the Web Companion) or other API
connections  (e.g. ODBC, JDBC, Apple Events or Active X) on a rolling twelve
(12) hour schedule.   You are further prohibited from using the standard
version of FileMaker Pro with any middleware, application server, CGI, or
other software or technology that allows more than a single client to access
any FileMaker Pro database.
