I wish I could migrate to Linux FMS - have some clients on FM16 Running high-Sierra unable to upgrade. FMS19 only allows 18 & 19 clients!(?)

thanks @Bobino - it's getting tighter - and as claimed here [FileMaker 19 is here! A Discussion with Todd | The Context Podcast](https://www.thecontextpodcast.com/32) from first class Clarisplaining - faster cycles shorter lifespan and pushing anyone to upgrade is the goal / philosophy.

I think we should get daily updates with new features and prune out yesterday's obsolete creations .. ADORABLE

You asked a question, I pointed to the answer. I have no control over the actual answer. I also have no control on how you receive that answer.
