Compatibility
FileMaker Server 11 and FileMaker Server 11 Advanced support FileMaker Pro 10/Pro 10 Advanced and FileMaker Pro 9/Pro 9 Advanced databases. While FileMaker Pro 8.x/Pro 8.x Advanced and FileMaker Pro 7/Developer 7 have the same file format as later versions of FileMaker Pro, they are not supported by FileMaker Server 11 and FileMaker Server 11 Advanced due to product obsolescence.
Databases hosted by FileMaker Server 11 will only support the features specific to the client version. For example, FileMaker Pro 10 databases will not support FileMaker Charts, even if hosted by FileMaker Server 11.
Additional Requirements
The Admin Console, PHP Site Assistant, and XSLT Site Assistant work on machines that have network access to FileMaker Server 11. The supported operating systems for these applications are:

| Mac OS X 10.6 (Intel-based Mac) | Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 | |
| Mac OS X Server 10.6 (Intel-based Mac) | Windows 7 Professional Edition | |
| Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel-based Mac) | Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition SP2 | |
| Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 (Intel-based Mac) | Windows Vista Business SP2 | |
| Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 | ||
| Windows XP SP3 |
Networking:
TCP/IP; FileMaker Server 11 is limited to 250 simultaneous FileMaker Pro/Pro Advanced client connections and FileMaker Server 11 Advanced does not limit the number of simultaneous FileMaker Pro/Pro Advanced client connections; each FileMaker Pro/Pro Advanced client requires a licensed copy of FileMaker Pro/Pro Advanced 9, 10 or 11.
Drive Space: Requires a large space on your server. I would recommend at least 1GB of allocated space to Peak Ideas software. The reason for this amount is the File Upload option within the application.
