Smart Ways to Buy Claris FileMaker Pro
Purchasing a single copy of Claris FileMaker Pro is easy through FileMaker Licensing for Individuals. This option features a one-time charge per user, meaning each individual user requires their own separate license.
Note: Individual licensing is ideal for solo users who do not need to share data with others, as it does not include FileMaker Server.
As a Claris Platinum Partner, LuminFire offers a few flexible ways to secure your single license. Choose the option that best fits your business:
Option 1: BrilliantHub Starter SaaS (Recommended – Best Value)
For less than the standalone cost of a single copy of FileMaker, you get a complete, ready-to-go ecosystem.
-
What’s Included: A genuine FileMaker license, our premier BrilliantHub Starter solution, and reliable cloud hosting—all bundled together.
-
Perks: All annual FileMaker Pro upgrades are included automatically.
-
Scalability: Easily share your data later by incrementally adding more users as you grow.

Note: this renews annually.
Option 2: Standalone Retail License via LuminFire
Prefer a traditional standalone license? We will handle all the ordering details with Claris for you.
-
Ownership: You own the specific version of the software purchased at that point in time.
-
Upgrades: When a major new FileMaker version drops, you can upgrade at a reduced rate (provided your current version is within the previous two releases).
Note: This is a perpetual license, but does not include upgrades.
Need More Than One License? Save with Volume Pricing
If you need 5 or more copies of FileMaker, you qualify for the FileMaker Volume Licensing Program.
As a Platinum Partner and Value-Added Reseller (VAR), LuminFire can unlock steep discounts for your team. Volume licensing simplifies your deployment with one single license key for all users and automatically includes FileMaker Server.
