- If we start with the Lite version, can we upgrade to Pro and what is the cost?
- You can absolutely upgrade from InBloom Lite to InBloom Pro. There is no additional cost on the InBloom side of the equation. In order to do this upgrade, you need to purchase FileMaker Pro and simply begin using your files with the FileMaker application rather than with the InBloom Lite application. To do this simply requires changing the file extensions on InBloom files from.IBL to .FP7 so your files such as InBloom.IBL, Printouts.IBL, and Reports.IBL get renamed to InBloom.FP7, Printouts.FP7, and Reports.FP7.
- Can you use the software on more than one computer?
- Yes, but depending on whether you want to use more than one computer at the same time, you may need to purchase additional licenses and/or additional copies of FileMaker Pro.
