System Requirements
Which Version of FileMaker Client Do I Need?
SeedCode Calendar requires FileMaker 8.5 or higher. The solution looks for this version of FileMaker in the opening script and will show users a warning if they attempt to open the solution in an earlier version. Because of the solutions extensive use of variables, it won’t run at all in FileMaker 7, so the opening script will quit FileMaker after displaying the version warning.

Server
You can share SeedCode Calendar with up to 5 guests without FileMaker Pro Server, providing each guest as a copy of FileMaker Pro. Even with a small number of guests, however, we strongly recommend you use FileMaker Pro Server for the best possible performance. FileMaker server also offers increased crash protection and provides for the scheduled backup of your databases, making it invaluable in our estimation.
RSS & IWP Requirements
If you wish to subscribe to project activity via RSS, you’ll need to use FileMaker Server Advanced in FileMaker Server 8; in version 9, FileMaker moved this feature to the regular server so in 9 you only need Server Advanced for IWP publishing.
The Advanced version of the server is also required if you wish to share your databases to more than 5 guests using Instant Web Publishing. FileMaker Server Advanced offers all the advantages of FileMaker Pro Server while adding instant web publishing capabilities.
Note that to publish SeedCode Calendar via Instant Web Publishing you’ll also need our Instant Web Publishing Module.
