FMPHost is an authorized Claris reseller, which means you can handle your FileMaker licensing through us alongside your hosting — one vendor, one invoice.
Option 1: Bundle your license with hosting (recommended)
- FMPHost manages your Claris license for $13.50 per user per month
- Licenses are renewed automatically — no risk of accidental lapse or deactivation
- Annual billing saves approximately 8% vs monthly
- One invoice covers both hosting and licensing
Option 2: Bring your own license (BYOL)
- Purchase your Claris license directly from Claris or another reseller
- Enter your license key during server setup
- You manage your own license renewals separately
- Hosting charges still apply
New accounts include a free trial license
Every new hosting account comes with a 45-day trial license so you can fully test your setup — including FileMaker Pro connections, WebDirect, scripts, and integrations — before committing to a license purchase.
How many licenses do I need?
You need one FileMaker Pro license per concurrent user connecting with FileMaker Pro. WebDirect-only users and Data API connections do not require FileMaker Pro licenses.
If you are unsure about the right license count for your team, give us a call at (888) 520-8291 — over-licensing and under-licensing are both common pitfalls and we can help you get it right.
