We think compatability with a much more powerful version of Filemaker (7) is worth a lot. It's going to take a big investment on our part in both Studio Manager and our own knowledge to take you there.
The value is obvious. You are on a platform with a lot more growth potential and power. FileMaker 7 is FileMaker on steroids without sacrificing the ease of use you've come to count on. In fact, even though we developers have to learn and change our thinking to get with the program, 7 will allow us to deliver even easier-to-use solutions with less effort.
Thus, we are planning to raise the extraordinarily reasonable price of Studio Manager. The 7-compatible version will cost more. We haven't done the detailed pricing analysis yet, but to give you some idea, we're thinking the single user version will go up $100, maybe $200. That would put the price of the single-user, FileMaker 7-compatible version at somewhere between $795 and $895.
If you buy the Filemaker 6 version now it is still $695 for the single-user version and then $100 per additional user with price breaks at $1995 for 20 users, $3495 for 40 users, $4995 for 60 users and $6995 for the unlimited user site license.
If you buy now, you will need to pay extra to upgrade later to a 7 version since the price will be higher, but you will get especially favorable terms reflecting your recent purchase. Don't hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions at janet (at) tokerud (dot) com.
