FileMaker has recently started a campaign to update to version 9. Limited time offer gives chance to save up to 100$. Discount is only applied to upgrade box. How ever this campaign decrease licensing cost it is not enough. Similar campaign (nearly ends) was kicked off by Winsoft for Centeral Europe, Middle East and Asia customers. Its offer up to 40 percent discount on new software licenses. You can purchase FileMaker license from local dealer or filemaker bussiness alliance partner in your site.
These campaingns are happy news but not enough for us, developers. FileMaker license fees are at high level. For a solution will be accessed by five person, my customer should pay approx. 1200$ only for license cost. This affects on competitiveness negatively for small-business solutions with FileMaker.
I think most of the developers have same problem. I am still waiting patiently and hopefully new product that only runs as client (no layout editing, no define fields, no script maker) to solve multi user high license costs...
