![]() ![]() They don't have pay additional money every year to keep using it. If I create a cool custom function in FM I can add it all my solutions and I charge my customers a one time development charge to add it which they are fine with. link to Quickbooks) instead it's a framework to create your own unique stuff to add to your FM solution. It seems to me the market for this product is developers not end users since it doesn't do a specific thing like other plugins (i.e. If you say "Well I can do that for you but you will have to buy this third party software which is going to cost you hundreds of dollars every year plus pay me to develop it for you plus keep paying FileMaker every year I think that is a steep hill to climb. For example maybe some GUI widget would be very helpful say a slider or something is a customer going to pay hundreds of dollars a year just for that? Maybe but I doubt it. Mark developer license is $50 sure that is great but you still have to convince your customers to pay every year for the software after you create something for them which I think is going to be very difficult.
