Installing FileMaker Pro updates or upgrades (macOS)

Users can check for updates to the current version or for upgrades to the next major version and install them within FileMaker Pro by choosing Help menu > Check for Updates, unless this feature has been disabled (see Setting personalization properties in Assisted Install.txt). Users must have an internet connection to update FileMaker Pro.

Alternatively, you can:

• Download the later version of the application from your Electronic Software Download page or from the Subscription page in Customer Console. (See About downloading FileMaker Pro and your license certificate in FileMaker Pro Installation Guide.) To install the later version, see Installing FileMaker Pro in macOS.

• Download the updater .zip file from Updates and release notes, and make it available to your users. Tell users to double-click the .zip file, then double-click the .pkg file inside the folder and follow the onscreen instructions.

For more on how upgrading works, see Upgrading FileMaker Pro from a previous version in FileMaker Pro Installation Guide.
