FM Starter is a startup file for FileMaker. As a FileMaker file, it has of course always supported any number of accounts. However, in order for the developer to get some tweaks and special menus, you had to sign up through a specific developer account. This restriction has now been lifted. Any number of accounts can be listed as “Developers”.

This works as follows:

Developer accounts must always be set up directly in FileMaker security settings. Once such an account is created, you can list the account in the developer dashboard. The next time the file is launched, the login will now be recognized as a “developer account” and additional features will be unlocked.

There is now a new “Developers” entry in the developer dashboard.

On the Developers page, you can now list the account names of the developer accounts. The entries should be saved afterwards.

The settings are recognized in the Startup Script and processed accordingly. Security is not compromised because this script only takes effect after the login has already taken place.

Those who have a current license can download the update directly from their own account.
