Hello,

I have been developing FileMaker databases for a few years now and was
recently hired to work on an older FileMaker 6 database.

Unfortunately, I can no longer find my original FileMaker Developer 6
CD. After having exhausted my search to buy a copy on Craigslist,
eBay, Amazon, and Google I am looking for some help.

Is there any place that is still selling it? If not, could some kind
soul help out their fellow man and provide a disk image of the
FileMaker Developer 6 CD for me?

Thanks,
William

1) I'm afraid I don't have dev 6. I skipped 6.

2) But really, do you actually *need* developer 6? Why not just pro 6?
The developer editions in the 5/5.5/6 era only contained a couple
useful extras that were rarely relevant. i.e. Unless you are packaging
stand-alone runtimes "Dev 6" probably isn't strictly required.

And if you don't need dev 6, just getting pro 6 shouldn't be
particularly hard or expensive.

3) Can your employer/customer make a copy & license available to you?

4) If you have your license key and all you need is replacement media,
have you tried contacting FM directly. They might be able to make one
available to you for a reasonable price.

cheers,
Dave

You don't say whether you need Mac or Windows, but you can get old
versions of Mac software at http://www.hardcoremac.com - they even have
a Windows version of FileMaker 6 listed (and a "Mac & Windows"). There
is no Developer version listed on the website, but you could try
emailing them. They do look a bit expensive for old software though.

Were you able to resolve this? If not I may be able to help you with
the media, provided you have your own license key.

The license i have is filemaker dev 6. I cant use that license on
anything else, can I?

Well, I need the script debugger and other dev features.

I have not. Is that something that has proved to work in the past?

Thanks.

I currently only need the Mac version, but I will need the Windows
version for testing.

Yeah, after my initial post, I found them. They do not have the Dev
version that supports the license I have

Thanks.

And, yes, I do have my own license key for FileMaker Dev 6.

I find this difficult to believe, as there *was* no version 6. FM
Developer stayed at 5.5 when Pro moved to 6. Then it jumped directly into
today's world of 7 & 8.

I run a complex solution in FM 6. I use Dev 5.5 sometimes, mostly for
script single-stepping, and every now and then run into the odd feature in
6 that was not part of 5.5.

I have to wonder why it is, then, that when I launch my copy of
(pre-7) Developer, the splash screen clearly identifies it as
Developer 6? The initial dialog (create new, open existing, etc.) does
the same, as does About.

FileMaker Dev 6 certainly did exist:

Also, it is mentioned in several places on the FileMaker.com web site.

FileMaker Dev 5.5 will not run on an Intel Macintosh.
