License codes and license management for FileMaker solutions

Sell your FileMaker-based standard products


FM Registrations is a FileMaker solution that allows you to generate license codes for the buyers of your FileMaker-based software solutions. Only with a valid license code your customer can unlock the software. This way you can sell the same product to multiple customers.

FM Registrations consists of three parts:

  1. FM Registrations: product and license management, encryption of license data.
  2. Example file: Decryption of license data (module: FM Unlock).
  3. Add-on: the FM Unlock module as a practical add-on for quick integration from FileMaker 19.1.

Unlock and configure

With FM Registrations you can achieve two things: you can have your software solutions unlocked with valid license codes. But you can do more. Information can be transported in the license code, such as the number of users, an expiry date or any characteristics. This information is available again after registration and can also be used by you in your solution to configure the software.

Imagine that you have software that you want to offer in two versions, for example a limited and an unlimited version. You can do this with the same file by transporting a property in the code. This property can be a word like “unlimited” or “limited” or simply “U” and “L” or any other “anchor”. After the successful registration by the customer, this information is available again in the application. Create a script to configure the software with this information.

This way, not only software solutions can be unlocked, but also configured. Features can be sold separately and unlocked by a new license code. Whatever you can program in FileMaker can be configured by such codes. Examples: Unlock extra users, set a new expiration date, unlock languages or email management – you define what is essential for your solution.

Product management

Create a record for each of your software products or versions. Here you can generate one-time secret keys, which limits once created license keys for example to a specific software or software version (so you can sell updates!).

In the product management you define all properties that are available for this license. These include: Number of users, expiration date (or: number of days until expiration date), product properties (as shortcode).

This information is encrypted in the license code and is available again as information after decryption and registration in your software.

License management

In FM Registrations you first register the customers and then generate the corresponding licenses to the address. You will immediately receive an overview of all sold licenses with contact details.

Other options: Send the licenses to your customer by email. Generate any number of generic license codes, for example for trading partners.

Encryption and decryption of the data

License data is encrypted in FM Registrations and decrypted by a decryption module. The decryption module is part of the sample file. In the sample file you will find everything you need to quickly integrate this module into your FileMaker solution. A test mode is also included.

Encryption and decryption is done with a secret key. You create this key in FM Registrations and you have to transfer the key into a script of the decryption module. That’s all there was to it. This way you can start selling your individual licenses in no time.

FM Registrations encrypts and decrypts license codes. What is done with this information is up to you. If you have defined a number of users, among other things, you will receive this information from the license key. How the number of users is checked in your solution and what happens in case of a mismatch is something you have to define yourself. This makes FM Registrations particularly flexible.

Compatible with FM starter

FM Registrations kann als eigenständige Lösung verwendet werden. But it is also already integrated in FM Starter, our starter file for new FileMaker projects. The decryption module is already built-in in FM Starter. It only needs to be activated and the license keys need to be inserted. The combination of FM Registrations and FM Starter is the fastest way to integrate the solution – because it already is.
