Purchasing a single copy of Claris FileMaker Pro is possible through FileMaker Licensing for Individuals which lets you license FileMaker for a one-time charge per user, with each user requiring a separate license. Individual licensing is recommended for single users of the FileMaker platform who do not need to share data with others as it does not include FileMaker server licensing.

There are several options for purchasing a single license of Claris FileMaker Pro:

  1. Purchase a single user retail copy of FileMaker from LuminFire.
    • We will place the order for you and handle all the details with Claris.
    • You will own a license for the version you purchased at that point in time.
    • When a major new FileMaker version is released, you may pay a reduced rate to upgrade to the newer version as long as the version you are upgrading from is one of the previous two versions.
  2. Sign up for LuminFire’s BrilliantHub Starter SaaS solution.
    • For less than the cost of one copy of FileMaker, you get the FileMaker license, our BrilliantHub starter solution, and reliable cloud hosting, bundled together!
    • You’ll also get all annual upgrades of FileMaker Pro included
    • We recommend BrilliantHub Starter SaaS for the majority of individual users as it’s truly the best value. You can also easily share your solution by incrementally adding additional users.
