FM Registrations now with an add-on

Always wanted to sell your FileMaker solutions multiple times? This works out! You can use FM Registrations to generate license codes for your own FileMaker solutions. This requires two things: You need a code generator that can generate and encrypt license codes. You also need an integration for your FileMaker solution, whereby these license codes can be decrypted again. FM Registrations from Kursiv Software does both with flying colors. The second task just got a lot easier with the last update.

New in version 1.70

Kursiv Software has just released version 1.70 of FM Registrations. This update is all about FM Unlock, a module with which license keys from FM Registrations can be restored decrypt permit. FM Unlock is a module and now also an add-on. Depending on the FileMaker version you are working with, you can use the module or the add-on to integrate the functions in your own solutions. This is now particularly easy with the add-on.

These are the changes for version 1.70

  • FM Unlock: Improved layouts in the example file
  • FM Unlock: New also as an add-on
  • Updated manual
  • Various bug fixes and small improvements.

Nothing has changed in terms of functionality.

FM Unlock not required in FM Starter

Anyone who already uses FM Starter does not have to worry about integrating FM Unlock. The module is already part of FM Starter and can be easily switched on or off there in the developer dashboard. The last update of FM Starter already integrated the new layouts of FM Unlock and is therefore up to date.

Download the latest version

Anyone who has bought FM registrations within the last 12 months (also as part of the Developer Bundle) can now download the update from their account at fmstarter.com.

After the download you have to do the following steps:

  • Activate the version with the license data from your purchase
  • Import of all development and registration data from your last version.
  • New manuals, sample files and add-ons are included in the solution and can be exported from the «Resources» page.

Simplified and focused: fmstarter.com will now continue to grow


15. March 2021In GeneralBy Karsten Risseeuw2 Minutes

The fmstarter.com website is being expanded. In the last few years there have been mostly free tools here. Commercial solutions were sold via kursiv-software.com. That is changing now. The website fmstarter.com will target FileMaker developers and integrate everything that is needed for this.

Vision and mission

The vision for this website is quickly told: In the future, all information and products for FileMaker developers will appear here. This becomes a bundled resource. In the past, commercial products were sold through our shop on kursiv-software.com. That already changed this year. All FileMaker products are now available at fmstarter.com.

The mission is just as simple: we want to simplify development with FileMaker. Everyone should be able to work with FileMaker with fun and success. Free sample files as well as commercial products are offered for this purpose. An online course offering is also in preparation.

FileMaker and low code

FileMaker is a low-code product. Even without programming knowledge, you can quickly build a solution that can simplify business processes. It doesn’t stop there, of course. With increasing requirements, you need better basics and more know-how. This is where Kursiv Software steps in. Our experience makes your entry into the world of FileMaker much easier. Not only that, experienced FileMaker developers also benefit from our solutions because they accelerate processes or provide a solid foundation for new projects.

FileMaker Developer Newsletter

Another innovation is the newsletter, which is now specially made for FileMaker developers only. You can subscribe to the German newsletter on the German side of this website, while the English newsletter is offered on the English side of the website.

Building for the future

Anyone who builds software builds for the future. What I do today will take me further tomorrow. That’s why it’s worth investing in FileMaker. The platform is stable, versatile and has been successful for decades. Kursiv Software wants to contribute a few things to this ecosystem. This is what this website is for.
