Looking for a little help. on an new windows server 2012 install I placed the filemaker.server.16-MPT.exe into the installed crograms/filemaker/filemakerserver folder then ran. Filemaker server worked but said trial would end in 15 days. I removed program and installed again, and same thing. I moved the system date past the 15 days and to see if it would stop working, it did - locked me out and asked for new key. I closed program and moved system date back and restarted filemaker and still locked out.
This seams to be a simple install. Before deploying program but after Install I placed file filemaker.server.16-mpt.exe into folder, started this newly placed exe file and clicked on the jaguar head which changed colors on outline and seamed to be done. As noted above it was only a trial. Also the screen shots are of filemaker 16 advanced not of the filemaker 16 server, but the program was in fact filemaker 16 server.
I found a "setup.exe" file at 186 KB in the filemaker/filmakerserver/ path which is the one I have clicked to install and also where I placed the filemaker.server.16-MPT.exe file and ran. There is a "setup.exe" file at 1,571 KB in the filemaker/filemakerserver/files" path, should I be clicking this one instead to install and place filemaker.server.16-MPT.exe file into?CONTINUE- After uninstalling FM server and try this several time I decide to reformat drive and install Windows 2012 again as a fresh install, then install this filemaker server 16 file as followed in the instructions. Still no luck, I have always click on the "Jaguar head" before deploying the program the first time. After installing many torrents why is this one so hard to do for me. Is it the Windows server 2012 R2, am I placing the Filemaker.server.16.-MPT.exe file in the wrong location, I click on the Setup.exe file inside the "filemake/filemaker_server" folder but I think I found another setup.exe file deeper in one of the internal files- was that the one I should be using? I must be overlooking something I know Aphrodite torrents are the best!
SOLVED-. I had the system shut down and after booting it up a day later I noticed the FMS Status page no longer had the note as a 15 day trial so I looked at General Settings and my license type changed from trial to shipping. Orginally I turned off machine and bootted back on and it did not fix, I think you need to let the trail count down from 15 to any number then a full shut down and boot.I found a "setup.exe" file at 186 KB in the filemaker/filmakerserver/ path which is the one I have clicked to install and also where I placed the filemaker.server.16-MPT.exe file and ran. There is a "setup.exe" file at 1,571 KB in the filemaker/filemakerserver/files" path, should I be clicking this one instead to install and place filemaker.server.16-MPT.exe file into?
Second idea: during install process I did answer install questions but never deployed the program before placing the "filemaker.server.16-MPT.exe" file and got the trial use. Should I have installed the program and at the first screen asking install questions go in and place the Medicines file and execute then come back to the install questions and complete the install?
None of the links for the Mac version work. Does anyone have new links or a torrent?
Thanks very much!
