Hi and welcome to the soup! I think you can have a lengthy read about runtime issues here > [@Goodbye FileMaker](https://the.fmsoup.org/t/goodbye-filemaker/1036): > > Hi all, For some time I have struggled to make sense of the pricing strategy FileMaker have pursued - it is "really" difficult to sell in my area of expertise. Having a 5 user minimum licence for a server based solution and making that a yearly cost before I have even built in my development costs and maintenance fees just make it non viable.
